Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Bank Indonesia (BI) faced a cybersecurity breach early on Tuesday morning, January 21, 2025, as its official YouTube channel was hacked. The compromised account displayed a video related to Bitcoin, with its emblem altered from BI’s official logo to a red background featuring three vertical bars.

Ramdan Denny Prakoso, Head of the Communication Department at Bank Indonesia, confirmed the incident and assured the public that immediate action was taken to regain control of the channel.

“This morning, January 21, 2025, Bank Indonesia’s YouTube channel was accessed without authorization by an irresponsible party. We have since suspended and regained control of the account. The channel is now restored and once again provides official Bank Indonesia information,” Denny stated in a press release to CNBC Indonesia.
