A China-based cyber-espionage threat actor has apparently breached the internal networks of at least 10 Indonesian government ministries and agencies, including the computers of Indonesia’s primary intelligence service, the Badan Intelijen Negara (BIN).
The revelation of this invasive cyber-espionage attempt comes at a time when the two countries are re-establishing diplomatic relations after nearly escalating into an armed confrontation a few years ago over maritime territory concerns.
