It's unknown what happened to the aircraft. But on April 2022, a CVR black box was found on the shallow ocean floor near Jepara, Indonesia and was indeed apart of the crash due to the callsign (HARMONY 298), in the audio, the pilots were confused and concerned about what's happening, this proves the cause wasn't a pilot suicide or hijacking, but the black box ended when the altitude chime played while the captain was speaking, then the recording suddenly stopped. So it was more difficult to find out why the aircraft crashed, but the FDR black box wasn't found. To this day the cause is unknown. All 293 passengers and crew onboard are presumably dead.
