TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Health Ministry has addressed recent claims that the PeduliLindungi website was hacked and redirected to an online gambling site. Aji Muhawarman, Head of the Health Ministry's Communication and Public Information Bureau, clarified that the website pedulilindungi.id has not been managed by the Health Ministry since March 2023.
"Since March 2023, PeduliLindungi has become SatuSehat. Therefore, everything related to the system has been switched to SatuSehat," Aji told Tempo on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
Aji explained that all health services previously available on PeduliLindungi have since been redirected to the SatuSehat website, accessible at satusehat.kemkes.go.id. He added that the SatuSehat application is also available on the App Store and Play Store. The pedulilindungi.id website is currently managed by Telkom Indonesia.
Aji also urged the public to be cautious about any requests for personal data originating from the PeduliLindungi website. "Because at this time, the Ministry of Health only manages SatuSehat, no longer PeduliLindungi," he stated.
Previously, there was a stir on social media regarding allegations that the PeduliLindungi website had been compromised by online gambling operators. According to the account @sangkakala, clicking on pedulilindungi.id reportedly led to an online gambling site called PLANETBOLA88. However, Tempo's observation confirmed that the site had returned to normal by Tuesday afternoon.
As reported by Antara, PeduliLindungi was initially a government application used for managing COVID-19 cases during the global pandemic. It was later transformed into SatuSehat, a data integration platform designed to consolidate individual health data across various health service facilities.
