VIVA – Hacker Bjorka is back in action again while the G20 Summit is taking place in Bali.

It is known, 3,2 billion data users successfully leaked by Bkjorka.
In the forum, hacker Bjorka said that the PeduliLindungi application is a Covid-19 contact tracing designed by the Ministry of Communication and Information, and in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, and State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN).
"PeduliLindungi (roughly translated from Indonesian as "care to protect") is the official COVID-19 contact tracing app used for digital contact tracing in Indonesia. This application is developed by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kemenkominfo), in partnership with Committee for COVID-19 Response and National Economic Recovery, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), and Telkom Indonesia," Bjorka wrote in Forum, as quoted on November 15, 2022.

Furthermore, Hacker Bjorka said this application was previously known as TraceTogether but then changed the name became PeduliLindungi because the application in Singapore has the same name.
As known that the number of compressed files reached 48GB and before being compressed amounted to 157GB. The leaked data includes name, email, population identification number (NIK), phone number, place of birth, Device ID, COVID-19 status, login history, contact tracking history, vaccines, and so on.
Hacker Bjorka is selling the data for US$100,000 or IDR 1.5 billion. Potential buyers of this data must contact Bjorka through Telegram with the format "I WANT TO BUY DATA (DATA NAME)".
Bjorka said that he/she/they would reject any format that did not match the proper format, as he/she/they received many spam messages on Telegram.
"OTHER THAN USING THAT FORMAT I WILL IGNORE BECAUSE I RECEIVE A LOT OF SPAM ON TELEGRAM," wrote Bjorka.
