We Hack, Therefore We Are

The hacker community could become Indonesian troops to improve national cybersecurity. Moreover, Indonesia currently lacks cybersecurity experts. They could also be given space to become bug bounty hunters.

In the world of hacking, Apep (14), not his real name, has found his purpose. The quiet teenager founded and now chairs a hacking group called Evoush666Crew made up of six members. This year, the group has hacked around 40 government websites.

In contrast to his activeness in the hacking world, Apep feels that he has no life in the real world. The teenager finds it difficult to make friends. Apep does not like school and does not feel comfortable at home. Almost every day he hears his parents fighting.
