The incident in Seoul, South Korea, in which Indonesian officials reportedly had files stolen, is an embarrassment to national security, the House of Representatives' defense and foreign affairs commission says.
“What kind of a defense system have we got? How could there be such negligence?” said House Commission I member Gen. (ret.) TB Hasanuddin from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P).
South Korean media has reported that three unidentified intruders — two men and a woman — broke into a suite at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul where Indonesian presidential envoys were staying during a state visit from Feb. 15 to 17.
Seoul Police said they suspected the intruders had copied computer files containing sensitive military procurement information from a laptop belonging to one of the envoys using USB memory sticks.
Hasanuddin said the theft was likely.
“So the defense minister and the foreign affairs minister need to be fair to the public. If it is true that [files] were stolen, don't say they were not [to avoid] embarrassment,” he said as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com.
