PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM PRIVASI DI ERA DIGITAL DALAM TANTANGAN DAN PROSPEK PADA PENEGAKAN HUKUM TERHADAP KAJAHATAN CYBER

Abstract

Legal protection of personal data in the digital era is crucial because personal data is a valuable asset that is vulnerable to misuse through various forms of cybercrime, such as data theft, hacking, and online fraud. This study aims to analyse the forms and challenges of legal protection of personal data according to Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning Protection of Personal Data, as well as to examine the judge's considerations in decisions on cases of illegal access to electronic systems based on Law No. 19 of 2016 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE). The type of research used to answer the problems in this writing is normative legal research with a case study approach and empirical data. The results of the study show that the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE), especially Articles 26 and 30 in conjunction with Article 46, provides a legal basis for protecting personal information and imposing sanctions on parties who access or use data without permission. The panel of judges has conducted a comprehensive and thorough analysis in handing down a fair verdict against the defendant, Tahyan Bin Dul Wahid.  However, the author is of the opinion that the verdict is relatively light when compared to the impact caused by the defendant's actions.
