The Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet) reported 185 digital attacks across various platforms between January and March 2025.

Instagram had the highest number of incidents, with 74 (approximately 40% of the total). SAFEnet attributes this to Instagram's high usage and the prevalence of activism and other activities on the platform that often become targets.

"This can be linked to the high level of usage, and the large number of activist and other activities on Instagram that are often targeted by perpetrators," SAFEnet stated in its Report on Monitoring Digital Rights in Indonesia.

WhatsApp recorded 31 incidents (16.76%), indicating its vulnerability to the spread of harmful messages, according to SAFEnet. "Such as threats, doxing, and relationship-based scams."

Twitter (now X) also experienced a significant number of incidents, 27 (14.59%), suggesting vulnerability to attacks based on hate speech, social pressure, and account hacking, SAFEnet noted.

TikTok and email each recorded 11 incidents (5.95%), while Facebook had 9 (4.86%). SAFEnet stated, "This shows that although not as many as Instagram and WhatsApp, other Meta platforms remain significant targets, totaling 114 incidents or approximately 61.62%."

The following is a complete breakdown of digital attack incidents by platform type from January to March 2025, compiled by SAFEnet:
