The Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) is preparing\nto update the Quick Response (QR) code system for the purchase of\nsubsidised fuel by agencies and private companies. This initiative\nfollows the discovery of fuel smuggling and misuse involving\nbarcode-based fraud.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe QR Code is currently static; we will soon make it dynamic. With\na dynamic system, there will no longer be potential for forgery or\nduplication developed by certain individuals using Artificial\nIntelligence (AI),\u201d stated the Head of BPH Migas, Wahyudi Anas, at the\nMakassar Container Terminal, South Sulawesi, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
According to Anas, advancements in AI technology currently allow for\nthe imitation of vehicle details simply by taking a photograph, enabling\nthe creation of specific number plates and forged vehicle registration\ncertificates (STNK) that appear authentic when registered via the\nMyPertamina application.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be PINs and various other security measures to ensure the\nsystem cannot be abused,\u201d he added, responding to the rising misuse of\nQR codes for subsidised fuel at petrol stations (SPBU).<\/p>\n
He noted that during a recent investigation by the Makassar Naval\nRegional Command (Kodaeral) VI, fuel tank trucks were found bearing\nPertamina labels, which were allegedly removed during subsequent\ninspections to deceive officials. Anas emphasised that the seized trucks\nappeared physically suspicious, noting that legitimate Pertamina\ntransporters are clearly registered under specific company names. While\nlegitimate barcodes scan to reveal a company\u2019s initials, the fraudulent\ncodes used in these cases do not.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, BPH Migas confirmed that all official partners possess\nofficial delivery notes from Pertamina. These delivery notes track the\norigin, destination, and specific petrol stations involved, allowing for\nfull traceability of fuel distribution.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bph-migas-to-update-qr-code-system-for-subsidised-fuel-purchases-1780865391", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
