        "content": "<p>Recent allegations regarding data leaks on the dark web involving\nseveral banking institutions have sparked widespread public concern.\nHowever, cybersecurity practitioner Syahraki Syahrir has advised the\npublic not to be excessively worried, noting that information technology\n(IT) security systems within Indonesia\u2019s banking sector are among the\nmost mature compared to other industries.<\/p>\n<p>The CEO of Veda Praxis stated that the banking industry is under\nrigorous supervision by various regulators, ensuring that digital\nsecurity standards are regularly updated. \u201cSupervision of the financial\nindustry is conducted in multiple layers by various agencies, such as\nthe Financial Services Authority (OJK), Bank Indonesia (BI), the\nNational Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and the Ministry of\nCommunication and Digital,\u201d Syahraki said in a written statement.<\/p>\n<p>Syahraki added that the banking sector is one of the most mature\nindustries in managing IT security because it involves the protection of\ncustomer funds and data. He urged the public not to panic, explaining\nthat the dark web is an unindexed part of the internet often used for\nunregulated activities, including the spread of illegal or unverified\ndata.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if the data on the dark web is authentic, the source must first\nbe traced. It could originate from a third party connected to bank\nservices, rather than the bank\u2019s core system,\u201d said Syahraki, often\nreferred to as Raki. He explained that in the modern digital ecosystem,\nbanking systems are interconnected with various technology providers,\ninfrastructure, and business partners. Therefore, the presence of data\non the dark web does not automatically imply a weakness in a bank\u2019s core\nsystems. \u201cHowever, when a bank is reported to have leaked data, the\npublic becomes alarmed because it concerns their money,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the Chair of the OJK Board of Commissioners, Friderica\nWidyasari Dewi, reminded the public to maintain the confidentiality of\ntheir personal data to prevent cybercrime in the financial sector.\nFriderica noted that despite the multi-layered security systems\nimplemented by banks and compliance with personal data protection\nregulations, crimes can still occur if customers are not vigilant or\nnegligent in protecting their private information.<\/p>",
