The system, designed to facilitate taxpayers, has been frequently complained about since its launch on January 1, 2025.
"We have invited hackers, Indonesian individuals, who are experts. Indonesians are extremely skilled hackers and are apparently feared worldwide. I have invited those who are ranked globally, the experts,"
said Purbaya to reporters at the Ministry of Finance on Friday, October 24, 2025.
According to Purbaya, this step is taken to detect and fix various weaknesses in the program and application code of Coretax.
