JAKARTA – The leakage of personal data in Indonesia has recently been rampant and has alarmed the public. Some of the easy targets of cybercrime are platform online shopping, leakage of passenger data and even registration data on the SIM Card.
According to the Chairman of Commission I DPR RI, Meutya Hafid, e-commerce platforms are one of the clusters that cause personal data leaks. This is also the government’s concern to immediately create a legal umbrella to protect people’s personal data on the internet.
“Based on global studies, 92 percent of customers e-commerce feel platform e-commerce very open their personal data (customers), “said Meutya during the webinar siberkreasi” Urgency of Personal Data Protection, “Monday, August 10.
For example, Meutya described a number of data leakage cases related to e-commerce in Indonesia. Starting from the leakage of Malindo Air passenger data and the latest 91 million Tokopedia user data which was also leaked in hacker forums.

However, what concerns Meutya is how people do not fully know how to protect their personal data. A simple example, when the government requires SIM Card registration to be registered using a National Identity Number (NIK) and Family Card (KK).
According to Meutya, this is vulnerable to misuse of personal data by irresponsible parties. Especially until now, the numbers that have been registered have reached more than 300 million numbers.
“And there was also a cluster of data leakage. Not entirely because of the system, but because of lack of literacy, so that when we didn’t understand how to register the SIM Card, it was assisted by credit sellers or cellphone outlets, so our data was then open and could not be protected by good, “explained Meutya.
Not infrequently, a lack of understanding of digital literacy and how to protect the personal data of users on the internet is very vulnerable to being exploited by certain individuals. Moreover, it is easy for someone to register someone’s data guarantee for fintech.

“The frequent use of personal data to validate financial transactions and other strategic transactions. Not infrequently, access to contacts on cell phones of money borrowers can be easily detected by certain financial tech companies,” he continued.
Being aware of the urgency of protecting personal data is very important. The DPR hopes to complete the Personal Data Protection Bill (RUU PDP) in early 2021.
“Currently, the PDP Bill is entering the DPR RI Commission I RPDU process to receive input from various fields, both experts and ATSI and APJII,” said Meutya.
