Author(s) Namukose Lilian, Prof. Dr. Iksan Muchamad
Country Indonesia
Abstract The unsolicited nature of the Internet in which anybody publishes anything at any time lands a serious security threat to any nation and this goes down to personal social behavior of an individual creating both negative and positive effects, this result into multiple functionalities and freedom of use while in the cyberspace and this brings an equal ease of committing immoral acts and crimes. This research will use a comparative approach, analyzing legal principles, systematics and relevant facts, with key legislations for instance, in 2024, Uganda experienced a sharp surge in cybercrimes, leading to significant financial losses, however, the police enhanced their digital forensic capabilities to keep up with cybercrime trends and improve their ability to gather evidence thus the establishment of the computer misuse Act. More like Uganda, Indonesia also faces the same problem and is increasingly susceptible to cyberattacks, manifesting in forms such as financial fraud, cyber espionage, and ransom-related extortions due to the rapid digitalization outpacing security, a large and vulnerable internet user base with low digital awareness, weaknesses in law enforcement's technical capabilities, and a less developed cybersecurity regulatory framework.
Keywords cyber-crime, policy making, economic loss, Uganda; Indonesia.
