INFOKU, BLORA – Approximately one hundred village websites in Blora were hacked by irresponsible persons.
Counted, there are 90 pages that are currently temporarily closed by the Blora Communication and Information Service (Dinkominfo).
This was proven after pages circulating on several websites belonging to the village displayed advertisements for online gambling.
However, there are a number of websites claiming to be village sites, which turn out to be fake.
One of them is the web page of Tanggel Village, Randublatung District, which displays online gambling advertisements.
The Head of the Information Technology Division (Kabid) of the Dinkominfo Blora Ahmad Hudil Khoiri firmly stated that the website was fake.

Khoiri said that the site that displayed the online gambling advertisement was addressed
at https://www.google.com/amp/s/tanggeldesa.blorakab.go.id/site-bandar-togel/ it turned out to be fake. According to him, the page does have writing that seems to indicate that the site belongs to the Tanggel Village Government.
However, it is certain that the writing is just a trick from a hacker.
"That's a fake page on behalf of the Tanggel Village website. Because the Tanggel Village website has been inaccessible since last Sunday. The link address is not a website that has facilities from the Blora Dinkominfo," he said Wednesday (21/6).
Dinkominfo, according to him, will facilitate the Tanggel Village website using the address http://tanggeldesa.blorakab.go.id.

Meanwhile, the online gambling site uses the www.google.com/amp/s/ link as its main site, and tanggeldesa.blorakab.go.id as a folder on the web only. Not the main website of Pemdes Tanggel.
When journalists tried to prove it by accessing the Tanggel Village official website, it was found that the website was still not accessible and displayed the page as it was before the hack.
Meanwhile, when accessing a site that is considered fake by the Ministry of Communication and Information, the page displays an advertisement about an online lottery dealer.
"The point is we have temporarily disabled the official website. I consider this to be a warning for us, so that we can be more secure against attacks like this. At this time, we admit that our security system is not very strong," he said.
