Indonesia gov ransomware chaos may be over after hack group apologizes and says it has shared decrypt keys

Jakarta Indonesia.

Ransomware group Brain Cipher has announced that it will reveal its decrypt keys in the wake of a ransomware attack it conducted against Indonesia’s Temporary National Data Center (PDNS). German tech site Golem.de reported the news after the group posted the key, along with instructions on how to decrypt the data, on its website.

“We hope that our attack made it clear to you how important it is to finance the industry and recruit qualified specialists,” the group said Monday. “Our attack did not carry a political context, only a pentest [penetration test] with post payment.”
