The computer revolution and the development of information technology and telecommunications has still to be expensive goods in Indonesia. According to the Association of Indonesian Internet Service Providers (APJII), only about 10 percent of Indonesia's 220 million people who know computers. In fact, according to the expert Roy Suryo telecommunications service, only 6.6 percent, or approximately 14.4 million people of Indonesia through a computer.

Although less than 10 percent of residents who recognize the computer, Indonesia has become a paradise for perpetrators of crimes virtual world (cyber Crime). According to data provider of telecommunications services and information (content) e-commerce, Indonesia last year ranked third in the world, under a number of East European countries. In fact, in 2002, Indonesia ranked second in the cases of crime in the digital world. Indonesia defeated only by Ukraine, one of the country's socialist fraction Soviet Union.

Note the Association of Indonesian Internet Service Providers (APJII) mentions the number of crimes covered mid-2006 to 27,804 cases. That includes spam, abuse of network information technology (IT), open proxies (exploit weaknesses network), and the misuse of credit cards.

In outline, cyber Crime consists of two types, namely a crime to use IT facilities as a crime and that makes the systems and IT facilities as targets. Some digital mode that uses crime as the IT facilities, among others, financial fraud with digital media communications (banking fraud).

The perpetrator intentionally create the site and traps that address similar to the original fiturnya to entice customers to enter a careless account number and password.

When trapped, in a glance all you switch savings accounts, can not even account number in the Cayman Island or other countries bran the screen. The case never befall our customers a mobile banking largest national bank Bank Central Asia, which fall into the false site.

"Mode that site name type, namely the perpetrators of crime by creating the false name of the site is the same with the original site. If you change the home page of the web name it," said Kanit Cybercrime Bareskrim National Police Headquarter Peter Golese.

New types of digital crime, which is quite a lot of people they are Phishing scams, or by e-mail. Phishing is a technique to search for personal information (email addresses, account numbers and other personal data) to send e-mail that seems to come from the bank.

Meanwhile, the digital crime that is aimed at IT equipment, among other defacting and hacking. Both are aimed at stealing the data in other people's data communication network, or simply penetration of the computer network system for privacy and aims to make the system failed to function (denial of service / DoS).

For the attempt to enter the network system simply to "weasel science," the frontier called hackers. Meanwhile, the objective of which damage the network often called cracker.

You still remember with hacker attacks to the server the General Election Commission (KPU) and the Golkar Party site? Perpetrators who confess and then caught only want to fool around at the same time remind the IT network managers of the previous KPU quality in the media that the network's 100 percent immune hacker attacks. Mode, which is often used by pembobol this network, among others, spreading viruses, worms, backdoor, or Trojan on a computer device organizations that lead to the opening of the access-access for those who are not entitled.

The form of digital crime, which most often occur in Indonesia is the number and password stealing a credit card for transactions at shopping sites, such as E-Bay and Amazon. Perpetrators often called carder. E-commerce categorize Indonesia as a paradise carder. Carder main center in Indonesia is sequentially Semarang, Yogyakarta, Medan, Bandung, Jakarta, Denpasar and Surabaya.

Because of a bad reputation, until now very difficult for people who use the Internet protocol address (IP Address) Indonesian origin legally to shop in the shopping site. In fact, occurred several cases of rejection credit card issued by the global network in Indonesia that brought their owners to travel abroad.

Heru Nugroho, Secretary General of the Association of Indonesian Internet Service providers (APJII), said the number of Internet Protocol addresses version four (IPv4) in Indonesia until the end of 2006 and 2675 is estimated to be six versions (IPv6) was 131,073.

"A number of IP addresses known to have been used for unauthorized credit card crime and terrorism in Indonesia," he said. Police so far reveal a number of successful actors carder in Jogjakarta, Semarang, and Bandung. However, the amount is not significant.

Last week, journalists of this newspaper found a Sony Vaio brand laptop that originally worth Rp 21 million sold only with the price of Rp 4.5 million in a "store" results of goods in the region carding Menteng, Central Jakarta. Not only computers, goods breast nipple-shoe brands such as Timberland and belt Dolce & Gabbana sold at only 15-20 percent of its original price.

"Indeed, most of the actors carding initially only to meet the lifestyle. Heru Nugroho, and I had to help police catch a carder in Yogyakarta, which use a credit card owned by U.S. citizens to buy a jacket and gloves," said Roy Suryo.

The value losses carding also continue to increase. In 2003, Police recorded hundreds of cases, carding a loss of new ranges million USD in 1296. A year later, losses increased to EUR 4,543 million. End years ago, the executive council estimate the losses due to credit card piercing reach USD 6-7 million.

Pembobol traditional mode of catch data card is a credit card transaction from the conventional, for example, payment by credit card at the hotel, travel agency, restaurants, and souvenir shops. They also diligently observe the movement of digital data to sniffing.

As a community klandestin, also known as the carder is not stingy share numbers and passwords credit card with another carder. In various mailing lists, you will easily find the number and password the original credit card, even with a frill porn site recommended to the arena of the pilot.

Mode that is currently developing a group of people in several countries, do me a credit card fraud is organized and cross country. "Recruitment" members of the network is usually carried out through chat.

Because the IP address of Indonesia rejected the majority (especially Semarang and Yogyakarta), carder to register itself with the IP address outside the country. Then he stores in shopping online and send the goods to a friend in another country. From that country, the goods sent to Indonesia by courier services.

An investigator in the medium Cybercrime Unit Bareskrim unfold, years ago the National Police Headquarter received 278 reports of cases of crimes digital. However, not one of the perpetrator to court by investigators because the lack of evidence.

Regarding the Wakapolri Komjen Pol Padmanegara recognize the difficulty of effective investigation on the lack of evidence.
