Analyzing Cyber Crimes during COVID-19 Time in Indonesia

Abstract

COVID-19 spreads fast and uncontrollably, causing panic and anxiety of the uncertain times worldwide. Remote working becomes a favorable option to keep activities running as usual. Cybercriminals use these conditions to commit cybercrime with either a specific target or not. The study is conducted by identifying cybercrime in Indonesia that utilizes COVID-19 issues with the help of timeline mapping of key events and cyberattacks to analyze targeted sectors and their cybersecurity. Most attacks are made by malware with the general target that can cause damage on a broader scope. Individual awareness of cybersecurity and support from an authority figure is needed to obtain a secure environment for remote working.
