IASC Saves IDR 349.3 Billion Of Public Funds, Prevents Losses Of Up To IDR 4.6 Trillion
JAKARTA - The government has officially launched the Indonesia Anti-Scam Center (IASC) as a center for complaints, coordination, and national education to eradicate digital fraud and illegal financial activities.
The Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Meutya Hafid, said that the IASC could run thanks to the strategic collaboration between the government, the fintech industry, financial institutions, and the media.
In fact, since operating, IASC has received 225 thousand public reports, blocked 71,000 accounts related to illegal activities, saved public funds of IDR 349.3 billion, and prevented potential losses of up to IDR 4.6 trillion.
As an additional effort other than the IASC, the Minister of Communication and Industry emphasized that the Ministry of Communication and Digi will continue to cut off access to sites or content that are indicated to carry out scam activities.
However, do not forget that the public is expected to be able to remind their awareness of existing digital crimes, because according to him, awareness remains an important factor in protecting oneself from fraud in the digital space.
