Keywords:
Cyber Crime, Regulation, Cyber Security, Consumer Protection, Law EnforcementAbstract
The development of digital technology has had a major impact on various aspects of life, including the increase in cybercrime, which has become a new challenge in the legal system in Indonesia. Existing regulations, such as the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP), have regulated several aspects of cybercrime, but there are still various loopholes that cause weak legal protection for the community. This study aims to examine the legal challenges in dealing with cybercrime and to offer more effective regulatory solutions. The research method used is a normative legal approach, with an analysis of applicable regulations, related court decisions, and interviews with legal experts and cybersecurity practitioners. The results of the study show that the main challenges in cybercrime regulation in Indonesia include the lag of regulations in technological developments, weak law enforcement, lack of coordination between institutions, and minimal international cooperation in dealing with transnational cybercrime. In addition, limited resources and technical expertise in cyber investigations are major obstacles to the effectiveness of law enforcement. To improve the effectiveness of regulation and law enforcement against cyber crime, this study recommends several strategic steps, including revising regulations related to cyber crime to be more adaptive to technological developments, establishing a special agency to handle cyber security, strengthening international cooperation, increasing the capacity of law enforcement officers in digital investigations, and educating the public about the importance of protecting personal data and cyber security. With the implementation of these solutions, it is hoped that Indonesia can be better prepared to face the threat of cyber crime
