Jakarta – The public is asked to increase their awareness of cyber crimes by strengthening digital literacy so they don’t become victims of online fraud. This was conveyed by the Head of Sub-Directorate IV Cyber Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya, Kompol Ardian Satrio Utomo.
“So in this case the occurrence of fraud or cyber crime is our lack of vigilance. So we have to strengthen our security again such as our cellphone passwords, social media accounts, email and so on,” said Kompol Ardian disitat from the Antaranews page, Friday, (7/7) ago.
He said, based on his experience in uncovering cases, most cybercriminals are actually not very skilled in the digital field. However, the crime can occur because of the victims’ lack of vigilance and digital knowledge.
“For the fraud cases we have faced, several times not everyone who commits fraud is a person who is good at cyber matters. I think there is more to negligence than victims,” he said.
“If we follow the news about the disclosure of online fraud cases, if we refer to the place and the equipment, it is very simple,” he continued.
He also added that one of the modes used by online fraud perpetrators is not to use sophisticated technology, but by manipulating or manipulating the victim’s mind through conversations via cell phones or conversations via short messages.
“For this reason, the public is asked to remain vigilant and not easily believe in activating or opening applications related to finance on the orders of unknown people. So we have to really check first, we have to confirm first with the platforms that have been registered by the state,” he explained ending the statement. Bembo
