One of them is hacking online accounts by hackers using fraudulent mode under the guise of a link sent via short message to the target and if the link is accepted and opened by the target, the hacker will easily carry out the action of draining the account. Viewed from a normative aspect, the Republic of Indonesia has actually provided protection to the public by passing various laws, for example in the scope of information and electronic transactions through Law Number 19 of 2016, an amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning information and electronic transactions. which threatens anyone who has committed a criminal act of breaking into another person's account via an electronic system with imprisonment, but this threat is not enough to provide a deterrent to the perpetrators, even though on the other hand the victims of this crime experience quite large losses and cause anxiety in society which is quite high in the security of their accounts.
