"As a follow-up to the case, the General Chair of PHRI Hariyadi Sukamdani immediately reported the incident to the authorities, in this case to the police."

"So next, today our General Chairman Mr. Hariyadi Sukamdani will go to the Cyber Bareskrim Polri to report regarding this matter," he said. PHRI suspects that the hacking was carried out by local residents because the WhatsApp (WA) numbers of several hotel managers listed on the Google business account were replaced with local phone numbers as well. This suspicion also arose because the perpetrators used savings account numbers from a national bank."

"We have not yet verified the accuracy, but it is suspected that this was done by a local person because the changed number is also directed to a local number, and even the bank account was also changed in one of the networks of State-Owned Banks (Himbara)."

According to the report, said Puguh, the hotel account that has been hacked by changing the hotel bank account number to a personal one operates in Eastern Indonesia. "We received information from one of the state-owned banks. It turns out there are transactions from Eastern Indonesia to a personal bank account," he said. His party hopes that this issue will not drag on as it could disrupt the business of each hotel, especially since it is being done on a massive scale.

"In Bandung, there are approximately 35 hotels, in Surabaya there are quite a few as well including large hotels, I will update the numbers soon," said Puguh. In addition to reporting to the National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri), they also plan to report this hacking incident to the East Java Regional Police (Polda Jatim) to strengthen the report made at the central level. "In my opinion, it will be stronger if each region reports this incident," he stated.
