Category: National Title: Three Million Cyber Threats Targeted Indonesian Internet Users in the First Quarter of 2025
Global cybersecurity firm Kaspersky has released its latest report on the digital threat landscape in Indonesia. Their findings reveal an alarming figure: 3,001,894 threats were detected and blocked from internet users in Indonesia throughout the First Quarter (Q1) of 2025.
The report highlights that a significant number of these threats came not only from the internet but also from what are known as "local threats."
Local threats—which accounted for a large portion of the 3 million incidents—are a type of malware that spreads through offline media or internal networks. This includes:
Infected USB flash drives.
Compromised CDs/DVDs.
Infected files within a local network.
Pirated software.
Yeo Siang Tiong, General Manager for Southeast Asia at Kaspersky, emphasized that Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, is a high-growth digital region, making it an attractive target. He specifically highlighted the danger of local threats, which are often underestimated.
"Local threats, spreading offline via infected USBs... are often overlooked," said Yeo Siang Tiong. One of the most frequently detected malware in this category was "Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.lq".
In addition to local threats, Kaspersky also noted that it blocked 2,752,382 incidents originating from web-borne threats in Indonesia during the same period.
This figure places Indonesia at 83rd globally in terms of danger associated with web browsing. This indicates that users in Indonesia are also highly vulnerable to attacks that occur while they are surfing the internet, whether through phishing sites or compromised websites.
These findings confirm that users in Indonesia face threats from two vectors: online (internet) and offline (local devices). Security experts recommend that users always use genuine software, perform regular security updates, and utilize a robust antivirus solution.
