He added that there is an opacity of information that is happening on social media today.
“One thing we are sure of is that the lies that continue to be echoed will be believed to be the truth and the problem now is with the vast amount of information on social media we don’t even know which ones are lies and which ones are real, and we can’t imagine what will happen in this country, the future our children, on the one hand we have not prepared them in detail while mitigating security attacks that we cannot avoid anymore,” he continued.

In addition, it is feared that in early 2023 the head of the BSSN will convey a trend of cyber malware attacks, social engineering, and Bright Data.
Giyanto explained that actually Universitas Brawijaya is ready to become a cyber incident response team
“If we look at several incidents from 2023 to now, predictions have proven that there will be Bright Data, Ransomware and websites infiltrated, especially government websites including Higher Education websites by online gambling sites and become joint PR, hopefully with the formation of this cyber incident team there are many things we can do to make coordination easier for mitigation to be more focused and faster.
