Financial institutions drew the most attention. Around 214,000 of the detections, or about 61%, involved banking, finance and insurance firms.
What the Indonesian Numbers Show
Government agencies and critical infrastructure came second. They recorded about 79,000 detections.
The rest of the activity was spread across other sectors. These included technology, healthcare and manufacturing.
The figures drew wider attention after crypto news platform Coin Bureau shared them on X. Indonesian outlets Tirto and Industry.co.id also reported the data.
FortiGuard tracks suspicious network activity on its monitoring dashboard. This includes vulnerability scans, attempted intrusions and malicious traffic.
The dashboard is updated all the time. Because of that, the totals can change depending on when the data is collected.
Detections are not the same as successful attacks. The numbers do not show that hackers got into any systems or took customer information.
Cybersecurity expert Alfons Tanujaya urged caution when reading one day of data. He told Tirto that the figures should be compared with past averages and earlier threat levels.
Banks hold customer data, payment systems and large volumes of transactions. That makes them a common target for criminals.
The Bank Rakyat Website Incident in Malaysia
A separate case surfaced in Malaysia the day before. On November 6, attackers reportedly defaced websites linked to Bank Rakyat.
Lowyat.NET reported that several pages showed unauthorized content. The bank then took the sites offline, which briefly disrupted access to some online services.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil spoke about the case on November 7. He said the affected site was run by a third-party provider.
He said the bank’s core financial systems were not compromised. Officials found no sign of stolen customer data or problems with online banking transactions.
Bernama reported that Bank Rakyat blocked access to the affected server. The bank also pointed customers to its official banking channels.
The bank said customer deposits, personal details and banking records remained safe.
There is currently no evidence that the Malaysian website incident is connected to the threat activity detected in Indonesia.
As of the latest reports, neither case has been linked to stolen customer funds. The Indonesian figures reflect detected threat activity, and the Bank Rakyat incident was limited to a third-party website.
