Government websites are the primary targets of web defacement attacks in Indonesia.

Web defacement is a website hacking technique that allows perpetrators to alter or delete content on the website.

According to the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), 189 web defacement attacks were recorded in Indonesia throughout 2023.

Of these, 167 attacks targeted websites in the government administration sector.

Attacks also targeted the health and defense sectors, among others, but the numbers were significantly lower.

According to the BSSN, web defacement perpetrators often choose targets with symbolic value to convey a specific message or damage the victim's reputation.

In Indonesia, these attacks included displaying online gambling advertisements on government websites.

"Government websites are targeted by exploiting vulnerabilities that allow threat actors to insert online gambling displays, thus affecting the institution's reputation and public trust," stated the BSSN in its report.

"In more severe cases, the victim institution may experience data theft and complete takeover of access rights," it continued.
