Brain Cipher conducted a ransomware attack against Indonesia's Temporary National Data Center (PDNS), exfiltrating and encrypting several thousand terabytes of data and demanding 131 billion Rupiah (~$8M). The group subsequently released a 54 KB ESXi decryptor file and apologized, claiming to act as penetration testers; the breach exposed optional backup practices across agencies, disrupted services, prompted a presidential audit of datacenters, and sparked public and political backlash.
