STATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IMPACT OF RANSOMWARE ATTACKS ON THE TEMPORARY NATIONAL DATA CENTER (PDNS)

Abstrak

Indonesia as a country has a big task in protecting its people. The task of protection is embedded in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia as the nation's ideal. This protection is also carried out as an effort to guarantee the rights of the people (citizens), including personal rights and privacy. Recently, there has been a hacking of the National Data Center which resulted in a number of personal data of the community and important state data being leaked. This study aims to be a subject of in-depth study regarding the legal consequences of the data leak that occurred at the PDN RI. The formulation of the problem presented is how is the state's responsibility related to the leak of personal data at the National Data Center? The research method used is normative legal with a statutory, conceptual, and case approach. The results of this study indicate that the Government has absolute responsibility for data security at the PDN. The hacking of the PDN must be used as an evaluation by the Government of Indonesia in order to improve governance and superior IT-based human resources. Based on the legal provisions of the Personal Data Protection Law, the Government of Indonesia as the person responsible for the data can be subject to administrative sanctions.
