Allegations of personal data leakage have resurfaced following the circulation of social media posts displaying sensitive student data from several higher education institutions, allegedly being traded on the dark web.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Cybersecurity Systems Expert at IPB University, Dr Heru Sukoco, stated that the alleged data leak currently circulating in the public sphere remains preliminary information or an indication, rather than a legal conclusion establishing fault on the part of any specific party.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis alleged leak needs to be examined carefully from multiple aspects and perspectives,\u201d said the lecturer from the Computer Science Study Program, School of Data Science, Mathematics, and Informatics, IPB University.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, he introduced two terms that are often perceived as synonymous, namely data breach and data leak.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA data breach is an incident in which confidential and sensitive personal data falls into the hands of unauthorized parties through active, za, and intentional actions.\u00a0 cMeanwhile, a data leak does not occur due to a direct attack as in a data breach,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

In principle, student data constitutes personal data whose management is regulated under Law Number 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law). This regulation emphasizes the obligation of data controllers, including higher education institutions, to ensure data security and confidentiality, while also promoting preventive efforts against the risk of data leakage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStudent data is sensitive personal data that must be protected. Its leakage has the potential to result in identity misuse, legal losses, and a decline in public trust,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, the level of security of academic systems in higher education institutions remains uneven and is highly dependent on the internal governance of each institution. Therefore, strengthening policies, improving cybersecurity literacy, and implementing security standards such as NIST CSF 2.0 or ISO\/IEC 27001…<\/span><\/p>\n
