Joko Widodo, the Identification Number (NIK), date of birth, vaccination ID number, date, type of vaccine to the vaccination batch he underwent were displayed on Twitter's timeline.

"This is the misuse of other people's identities to access information, not data leakage," Siti said on Sunday (9/5).
