"In 2019 it is estimated that cyber attacks will be more powerful than in previous years," said Chairman of the Pratama Persadha Cyber Security and Communication Research Institute (CISSReC) via e-mail to Antara in Semarang on Sunday morning (6/1).
DDoS is an attempt to make a computer or server unable to work properly so it is very dangerous and harmful. He estimates that the intensity of attacks on the biometric security system will continue to increase. This is because of the increasingly popular use of biometric authentication.
"This authentication is claimed to offer a strong level of security. However, in fact it actually has a vulnerability that is quite dangerous," said Pratama.
According to him, this opportunity is used by cyber criminals to steal sensitive information. They not only took advantage of the weaknesses of biometric authentication found, but also from data collection and storage.
He said the leakage of biometric data could also be dangerous for national sovereignty, for example, biometric data electronic identity cards (KTP-el). If the KTP-el biometric data is leaked, the data can be used by foreign parties or parties not responsible for identifying personally based on biometric data obtained.
