Hacking is the most prevalent form of digital attack in Indonesia. A report by the Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet) indicates that hacking incidents reached 136 cases, representing 70.46% of total digital attacks last year.

Hacking, in this context, refers to attempts to seize or access the digital assets of the target. In some cases, victims lose access to their assets. However, in other instances, hacking attempts are thwarted, resulting only in a notification of unauthorized access attempts by a third party.

The second most common type of digital attack is doxing, the disclosure of a target's private information with the intention of causing psychological harm or threats. There were 24 such incidents.

Furthermore, there were 14 incidents involving data breaches and other attacks. Meanwhile, cases of impersonation and phishing numbered 9 and 6 incidents respectively.

Throughout 2021, at least 193 digital attacks occurred. This represents a 38% increase from the previous year, which saw 147 incidents.
