Indonesia, June 2024 - 210 critical government agencies were crippled in one fell swoop. Immigration services were in disarray; customs officers locked out of critical systems and travellers left stranded in airport and ferry terminals facing delays that would continue for a full week.

The culprit? Brain Cipher, a ransomware group barely a week old, which demanded a huge sum of $8M from Indonesia’s National Data Centre, bringing local government services to their knees. The chaos that followed lingers as a potent reminder of the widespread disruption across an entire nation that can stem from a single attack.

Join Group-IB’s Gary Ruddell and Nick Palmer as they talk to Jennifer Soh, Cyber Investigation Lead for APAC at Group-IB, exploring what motivates cyber criminals to target national infrastructure, and what happens when the pillars that hold up our modern digital society - from government and defence to energy- are struck by cyber-attacks.
