<![CDATA[The development of digital technology has given rise to new forms of crime that have not been fully anticipated by traditional legal systems. One increasingly prevalent phenomenon is the practice of doxing, which is the act of disclosing and disseminating someone's personal information without permission for a specific purpose, often to harass, intimidate, or harm the victim. The purpose of this study is to analyze doxing as a form of cybercrime from the perspective of Indonesian and Singaporean law. In Indonesia, regulations regarding doxing have not been specifically regulated, but can only be prosecuted through Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (UU ITE) and its amendments, and Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (UU PDP). In contrast, Singapore has been more progressive by explicitly prohibiting doxing through the Protection from Harassment Act (POHA) of 2014, which was later updated. The normative-comparative legal research method compares the legal constructions of Indonesia and Singapore in addressing doxing and examines the urgency of establishing specific regulations in Indonesia. The research findings indicate that Indonesia's regulations remain general and do not provide adequate legal certainty, while Singapore has succeeded in providing more concrete legal protections for doxing victims. The researchers recommend that Indonesia immediately formulate specific regulations regarding doxing, either through a revision of the UU ITE or the creation of a new law on cybercrime.]]>
