JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia’s national data center has been compromised by a hacking group asking for a $8 million ransom that the government says it won’t pay.

The cyberattack has disrupted services of more than 200 government agencies at both the national and regional levels since last Thursday, said Samuel Abrijani Pangerapan, the director general of informatics applications with the Communications and Informatics Ministry.
