BEYOND the glare of global headlines, as Trump’s tariffs stirred outrage and uncertainty, something far more silent and sinister crept through Indonesia’s banking system. What began as a media stir around Bank DKI, just before last year’s Eid, was only the tip of the iceberg. In the shadows, four other banks were quietly infiltrated, their systems breached without public notice. The perpetrators? Not your usual cybercriminals, but elusive digital thieves likened to tuyul, a mischievous spirit figures from local folklore said to sneak into homes and steal fortunes. By the time the dust began to settle, more than five hundred sixty billion rupiah had simply vanished.
These attacks occurred in two major waves: the first involving over 414 billion rupiah across six incidents, and the second totalling nearly one hundred forty-seven billion rupiah across two incidents. .
