The police investigation also did not find any attempt to retrieve data from the eHAC server. After it is confirmed that no data was retrieved, the Cyber Police stopped the investigation.
"Data in the eHAC system is not leaked and it is protected. The public does not need to worry, eHAC user data remains safe and is now integrated into PeduliLindung application," said Head of Data and Information Center of the Ministry of Health Anas Maruf on Thursday, September 9, 2021, in Jakarta.
The leak was first reported by VPN mentor. The report has been verified by the National Cyber and Encryption Agency (BSSN) and was received by the Ministry of Health on August 23, 2021.
