"Our information data center so far does not detect any interference with services at the Transportation Ministry," the ministry's secretary of air transportation, Sigit Hani Hadiyanto, clarified here on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, Hadiyanto stated that his team and the information data center management collaborate to assess and foresee issues that may impair the Transportation Ministry's services.
Hadiyanto said that his side will continue to take anticipatory steps, including forensic analysis, to ensure no data leaks.
"There was also a statement from the ministry's public relations staff, Adita Irawati, that there is no impact on the data or information at the Transportation Ministry," he remarked.
Hadiyanto affirmed that the disruption at PDN had no impact on aircraft navigation services.

He ensured that flight services were running safely and normally and not impacted by the ransomware-hit PDN.
"Therefore, the Transportation Ministry is conducting anticipatory steps," Hadiyanto remarked.
Earlier, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Hadi Tjahjanto had necessitated all ministries and government agencies to back up their data as a precautionary measure against hackers' attacks, as what had occurred recently.
"Every 'tenant' or ministry must have a backup, this is mandatory, no longer optional so that if there are disturbances to the national data center, there is still a backup," Tjahjanto remarked on Monday (July 1).
According to the minister, backups are necessary to save the data of ministries and agencies in case hackers attack.
Currently, the government is striving to restore the affected services at PDNS 2 so that normal operations can resume this month.
