“The IndonesiaLeaks consortium found indications of the NSO Group spyware [entering Indonesia] through the shipping manifest of PT Mandala Wangi Kreasindo,” the report published in Tempo weekly magazine said. Tempo is among the members of the consortium, along with a number of other Indonesian media outlets and civil society organizations.

In the manifest, the company is recorded as bringing in two pieces of network equipment from United States technology companies Cisco and Dell with a total listed value of around US$16,000.
