KOMPAS.com - The wave of cyberattacks still looms over Indonesia. In the past 24 hours, millions of threats have been detected targeting various sectors, ranging from banking, technology, to government.

This picture can be seen from the monitoring of the Live Threat Map dashboard of FortiGuard Labs, a cyber threat research laboratory owned by Fortinet, a cybersecurity company from the United States.

Based on data compiled by KompasTekno on Monday (9/11/2026) morning, FortiGuard Labs recorded around 1.6 million cyber threat activities blocked in Indonesia in the last 24 hours. Its intensity reached 19 attacks per second.

From the various sectors monitored, banking, finance, and insurance recorded the highest attack activity, which is around 761,000 activities. The technology sector followed in second place with 386,000 activities.

Meanwhile, the government sector recorded 121,000 attack activities. The threats also targeted the education sector with 48,000 activities and manufacturing with 42,000 activities.

Kaspersky: Indonesia ranks 27th

The picture of cyberattacks in the country can also be seen in the Cyberthreat Live Map dashboard owned by Kaspersky, a cybersecurity company known for its antivirus products and digital protection solutions.

According to KompasTekno's monitoring on the dashboard, Indonesia is ranked 27th in the list of the most attacked countries based on Kaspersky's monitoring.

Kaspersky recorded a number of threat detection categories with different numbers. The On-Access Scan (OAS) category dominated with 29,495 detections. This figure refers to malware found when a file is accessed, for example when it is opened, copied, run, or saved.

Below it, there is On-Demand Scan (ODS) with 22,862 detections. This type of detection appears when a user runs a manual virus scan on their device.

Activity when users surf the internet is also a source of threats. Through the Web Anti-Virus (WAV) category, Kaspersky found 13,504 detections, including threats when users open web pages or download files.

Meanwhile, network traffic monitoring through an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) resulted in 1,394 detections. This system is used to identify suspicious activities that indicate an attempted intrusion or attack on the network.

For threats via electronic mail (alias e-mail), Kaspersky divides them into two categories.

Mail Anti-Virus (MAV) found 357 malware detections by scanning email messages and their attachments. Meanwhile, Kaspersky Anti-Spam (KAS) recorded 1,732 detections of spam via e-mail or unwanted electronic messages.

In terms of system vulnerabilities, the Vulnerability Scan (VUL) category recorded 36 detections. This category relates to scanning to find security flaws in the system.

Finally, the Ransomware (RMW) category recorded eight detections. Ransomware is a type of malware that can encrypt the victim's data and demand a ransom so that the data can be accessed again.

It should be noted that these figures are the number of detections based on the security system categories of each provider, not the total number of cyber attacks that actually occurred in Indonesia. The FortiGuard Labs and Kaspersky data also cannot be added up because the two use different threat monitoring and classification methods.

KompasTekno has contacted the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) to request a response regarding the findings of millions of cyber attack activities, including threat trends and the most targeted sectors in Indonesia.
