Abstract

The development of information and communication technology has led to the existence of new media in the form of the internet which causes world relations to become borderless and causes significant social, economic, and cultural changes and even crimes in the field of the internet are increasing. The formulation of the problem that will be raised as a problem in this study is How to prove illegal access in the prevention of cybercrime in Indonesia? And what is the process of investigating illegal access cases in the prevention of cybercrime in Indonesia? The research method used is normative juridical with a case, legislation and concept research approach. The legal materials used are primary, secondary and tertiary, while the analysis of qualitative legal materials is qualitative. The results of the study show that proving illegal access in handling cybercrime cases in Indonesia still faces various challenges, especially in terms of identifying perpetrators and limited human resources. However, with the right strategies, including increased international cooperation, the use of advanced technology, and ongoing training, these challenges can be overcome. Revision of existing policies and increasing the capacity of law enforcement are the main keys in increasing the effectiveness of cybercrime countermeasures. The process of investigating illegal access cases in Indonesia requires an integrated approach, involving sophisticated forensic technology, understanding of legal regulations, and international cooperation. By integrating criminological theories such as Routine Activity and Strain, as well as leveraging insights from the current literature and best practices, law enforcement can improve their ability to deal with cybercrime.
