With online crime on the rise, some in the Indonesian business community are calling for the government to renew action to implement legal and physical security protections.
Aulia Huriadi, the Businesses Manager of online security company, Trend Micro, told Hukumonline (28/12) that, with a country of some 55 million internet users, and given the increasing sophistication of “cyber crime” attacks, the government should focus on updating the legal framework for prosecution.
Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions is not sufficient to address the issue, he said, explaining that there is no regulation on how and where cyber crime can be prosecuted, especially because “cyber crime may be committed by a person in another country to an Indonesian citizen.”
Speaking particularly about the dangers to financial businesses or those who often transact online, Aulia noted that a common dynamic is where private data is tracked, stolen, and provided or sold to others who may use it for personal gains.
Simple though it might seem, Aulia suggested that an effective start for individual users would be to manage their passwords, and use different email accounts for different online profiles to prevent their data from being stolen.
He also urged businesses to implement better online security systems, and encouraged users to use real identification data that could not easily be discovered by third parties.
Echoing those concerns, Sudaryatmo, the Coordinator for the Indonesian Consumer Association, told Hukumonline (28/12) that the government should address the lack of regulation, and should help to educate the public about cyber crime and the sorts of actions that to bolster online security.
