This study uses a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach to analyze national regulations and relevant international legal instruments in countering cybercrime. The results of the study show that Indonesia already has a legal basis through the ITE Law, the Criminal Code, and the Personal Data Protection Law, but still faces obstacles in terms of jurisdiction, capacity of law enforcement officials, and limitations of international agreements. At the global level, the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) are important instruments, although their implementation is limited by the lack of universal state participation.
