Morrissey Technology – The social media world was abuzz with news of the alleged KAI Commuter data leak. The leaked data has also reportedly been sold on the dark web. The news of the alleged data leak was revealed by the @txttransportasi account on X (formerly Twitter).
“Oh, you know… KAI database?” upload the account on Tuesday (2/7).
The account also attached screenshots of cyber criminals’ uploads on Breachforums. However, the name of the account that uploaded KAI Commuter data on Breachforums was censored in the screenshot FOR4D.
The suspected hacker claimed that the leaked data included various personal information of KAI Commuter users, such as names, ticket codes, payment methods and transaction times. Responding to this issue, KAI Commuter claimed that its user data was safe, even though it had been hacked. KAI Commuter also said that it had coordinated with related agencies to handle this hack.
“KAI Commuter ensures the security of the Commuter Line user data base which was hacked by irresponsible parties,” Anne Purba FOR4D, Corporate Secretary of KAI Commuter said in a statement, Wednesday (3/7).
“Until now, KAI Commuter together with related parties continue to coordinate and carry out in-depth investigations to trace and handle the system hack,” he added.
Anne said that her party had taken steps to deal with it, including limiting access to both public networks and local networks.
“Currently all IT operational systems FOR4D in the KAI Commuter environment are still running well and all customer databases are safe,” explained Anne.
Furthermore, Anne asked the public not to worry about using all the service applications owned by KAI Commuter, because KAI Commuter has good information security management.
KAI Commuter is also said to have implemented ISO 27001:2013 as a standardization of the Information Security Management System at KAI Commuter. This security standardization, he said, is also regularly audited by independent auditors to ensure security in its implementation.
“KAI Commuter is committed to continuing to improve cyber security FOR4D in the application of information technology that makes it easier for people to use the Commuter Line and will thoroughly investigate this crime,” said Anne.
“For further steps, KAI Commuter will cooperate with the authorities to investigate this case,” he concluded.
