Indonesia^s protection of online lending services from cybercrime,
from a criminal policy perspective, should use an integrated
approach that combines criminal law enforcement and preventive
measures. On the penal side, the government needs to strengthen
and consistently enforce laws related to cybercrime, including the
Electronic Information and Transactions Law, the Personal Data
Protection Law, consumer protection regulations, and Financial
Services Authority (OJK) rules. Firm and proportionate criminal
sanctions are important to deter cybercrimes such as data theft,
online fraud, and abuse by illegal online lending operators.
In addition, law enforcement capacity must be improved, particularly
in digital forensics, electronic transaction tracking, and cross-border
cooperation, due to the transnational nature of cybercrime.
Coordination among the police, prosecutors, OJK, the Ministry of
Communication and Information Technology, and other relevant
institutions is essential.
From a preventive (non-penal) perspective, the focus should be on
stronger supervision and licensing of online lending providers, rapid
takedown of illegal platforms, and public education on digital and
financial literacy. Legal online lending providers must also be
required to implement strict data protection and cybersecurity
standards.
Overall, protecting online lending from cybercrime in Indonesia
requires not only punishing offenders but also strengthening
prevention, regulation, law enforcement capacity, and the protection
of public rights in digital transactions.
