Phishing crimes are becoming increasingly prevalent as more people use digital technology and online financial services, but the implementation of data protection regulations faces constraints in terms of monitoring and enforcement capacity in the field. This research was conducted using a normative juridical method with a descriptive research nature that relies on an analysis of laws and regulations, expert opinions, and sectoral regulations such as the ITE Law, the Personal Data Protection Law, the Criminal Code, and provisions from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia. The research problem formulation covers two main points: (1) What are the legal regulations for phishing crimes, and (2) How effective is the implementation of legal provisions in efforts to combat phishing crimes in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that normatively, regulations are quite comprehensive through a combination of criminal regulations, personal data protection provisions, and electronic system security standards in the financial services sector. However, in practice, law enforcement still faces several obstacles such as limited digital forensic capabilities, difficulties in obtaining cross-border electronic evidence, weak coordination between relevant institutions, and low levels of digital literacy in the community. In addition, financial institution security standards are not yet fully uniform, so there are still gaps that can be exploited by phishing perpetrators. This study concludes that the effectiveness of phishing countermeasures is suboptimal because the implementation of the legal formula has not been as robust as its normative concept. Therefore, a more comprehensive approach is needed through increased investigator capacity, updated digital forensic procedures, tightened security standards for electronic system providers, strengthened inter-agency coordination, and regular public education to ensure more effective phishing prevention and enforcement efforts and protect users of digital financial services.
