Cyber threat landscape as described in the country report of Nov 12 Machine-generated
Indonesia's cyber threat landscape during this period was dominated by a significant wave of attacks targeting its financial sector. FortiGuard Labs reported over 1.2 million cyberattack attempts against Indonesian banking, finance, and insurance industries in a 24-hour period as of November 9-10, 2026. This surge prompted the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI) to activate their Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRT) and issue directives for banks to enhance their digital security layers, including real-time monitoring of high-value transfers and immediate suspension of anomalous transactions. Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky also listed Indonesia as the 32nd most-attacked country globally on November 9. While the high volume of detected threats does not necessarily confirm successful breaches, it underscores the persistent and intense targeting of Indonesia's critical financial infrastructure.
No specific state-sponsored or criminal threat actors were explicitly named in the news reports as being active against Indonesia during this precise reporting period (November 05-12, 2026). Similarly, no new exploited vulnerabilities were identified in the news for this timeframe. The Indonesian government's response has focused on strengthening resilience through regulatory guidance, activation of incident response teams, and mandating regular penetration testing, cyberattack simulations, and IT audits for banks. Indonesia has also called for closer ASEAN-Japan cooperation to combat escalating cross-border cyber threats, particularly in the context of evolving Agentic AI, emphasizing the need for robust AI governance and "Security by Design" architecture.
Background: Threat actors known to target Indonesia include APT17, ToddyCat, LOTUS PANDA, Naikon, GOBLIN PANDA, and Hellsing. Threat actors named in its news in the last 30 days include GhostEmperor and UAT-9244.

EU relations and implications country report of Nov 12
Machine-generatedIndonesia's relations with the European Union experienced a significant positive development during this period, primarily centered on the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IEU-CEPA). EU member state ambassadors prepared for the agreement's signing and conclusion on November 4, 2026, with the official signing targeted for November 21, 2026. This accelerated timeline is critical as Indonesia is set to exit the EU's Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) on January 1, 2027, making the CEPA essential for maintaining stable trade channels and market access for Indonesian products. The agreement is expected to liberalize approximately 98 percent of tariff lines, benefiting key Indonesian exports like palm oil derivatives, textiles, and footwear. On November 6, 2026, the new EU Ambassador to Indonesia, Hervé Delphin, presented his credentials, emphasizing that relations are entering a pivotal moment and that the CEPA and elevation to a strategic partnership will strengthen both parties amid global dynamics. The EU relationship outlook was assessed as stable in August 2026, and cooperation projects span trade & investment, development cooperation, climate & environment, infrastructure & transport, and education & skills. The EU also has digital projects like SCOPE Digital – Copernicus Earth Observation Southeast Asia in Indonesia.
The internal security and cyber developments in Indonesia have implications for EU interests and cooperation. The political uncertainty arising from the wiretapping scandal and the Vice President's resignation could introduce unforeseen complexities in governance and policy implementation, potentially affecting the smooth execution of the CEPA and other bilateral projects. Furthermore, the wave of cyberattacks on Indonesia's financial sector highlights a shared vulnerability in the digital domain. Given the EU's digital cooperation projects like SCOPE Digital, these cyber threats underscore the importance of robust cybersecurity frameworks and continued collaboration to protect shared digital infrastructure and data. The EU's interest in a stable and secure Indonesia, as a key partner in Southeast Asia, is directly impacted by both internal political stability and resilience against cyber threats.
