OJK urges banks to stay on 24-hour watch amid cyberattacks
OJK and Bank Indonesia have activated a cyber incident response team, while 1.9 million attacks were blocked in the last 24 hours.
Otoritas Jasa Keuangan urged all banks to heighten vigilance against cyberattack threats and monitor systems around the clock. OJK Chief Executive for Banking Supervision Dian Ediana Rae said coordination with bank IT teams has been under way since Friday, 6 November 2026, along with a letter to bank directors calling for tighter security. Banks were asked to monitor significant transactions, detect anomalies, and suspend suspicious transactions temporarily for clarification. OJK said Indonesia's banking system remains safe for now. OJK and Bank Indonesia have also activated a Cyber Incident Response Team. According to the FortiGuard Labs dashboard accessed Monday afternoon, 1.9 million cyberattacks were blocked in 24 hours, with the banking, financial and insurance sectors the main targets. The heightened alert comes after the attack on French bank Crédit Mutuel Arkéa was disclosed in early November.
