According to the Indonesian National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), approximately 1.67 million credential data from Indonesian organizations/institutions were exposed on the darknet throughout 2023.

The darknet is an internet network that cannot be found using conventional search engines like Google. This "dark internet" can only be accessed through specialized software, using uncommon computer communication codes or protocols.

BSSN stated that the exposed Indonesian credential data found on the darknet was located in places such as data trading forums and hacker discussion forums, thus potentially leading to misuse.

In 2023, the most exposed national data on the darknet originated from the government administration sector, accounting for approximately 665,000 data points (39.8%).

A significant amount of data also came from the finance, information and communication technology, transportation, and energy and mineral resources sectors, as shown in the graph.

According to BSSN, this data spread across the darknet due to data breaches or theft in 429 institutions.

The following is the number of institutions per sector whose data was exposed on the darknet in 2023, according to BSSN findings:

* Government administration sector: 134 institutions
* Finance sector: 58 institutions
* Information and communication technology sector: 29 institutions
* Transportation sector: 63 institutions
* Energy and mineral resources sector: 19 institutions
* Health sector: 45 institutions
* Food sector: 17 institutions
* Defense sector: 8 institutions
* Other sectors: 56 institutions
