Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement against hacking crimes in Indonesia, focusing on the role of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). Cybercrime, especially hacking, has grown rapidly along with technological advances, but law enforcement against this crime still faces various challenges. Through a normative legal approach, this study evaluates the implementation of the ITE Law in handling hacking cases, and identifies major obstacles such as limited technical competence of law enforcement officers, jurisdictional limitations, and lack of international cooperation. The results of the study indicate that although the ITE Law provides a sufficient legal basis, regulatory updates are still needed to be more responsive to technological developments. In addition, increasing the capacity of law enforcement officers and strengthening international cooperation are considered important to deal with cross-border hacking crimes. This study recommends strategic steps, including technical training, regulatory revisions, and increased protection of personal data, to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement in Indonesia.
