JAKARTA - SIM Swap Fraud crime mode is able to drain account balances via mobile banking. Because, recently this case has happened to a senior journalist, Ilham Bintang.
This is of course a special concern by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo), because the perpetrator of the SIM Swap Fraud crime is very easy to use the victim's personal data to replace his SIM Card.
Seeing this case, the Commissioner of the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Body (BRTI), I Ketut Prihadi Kresna said that later every user who will register his SIM Card must use Biometric technology.
"We have only discussed the issue of Biometrics with the operator twice. We need to be sure that this method can be implemented. The system is also not only in Kominfo but also in Dukcapil. So we also confirm how strong the network in Dukcapil is to accept this biometric registration," Ketut said when he was met at Kominfo, Wednesday, January 22.
Biometric technology has indeed developed rapidly at this time, especially it is embedded in smartphones and big technology companies, but are Kominfo and operators in Indonesia able to develop this latest self-recognition technology.
"Hopefully this year the regulations can be issued, Kominfo is ready with the regulations, Dukcapil is also with its network, we will see the entire system readiness," added Ketut Prihadi.
For information, the Biometric registration method according to Ketut Prihadi is much safer because the method is different from the current prepaid card registration.
Prepaid registration currently only includes KTP and KK, but when you use Biometrics later, the methods include facial recognition, fingerprints and IRISH.
"Later, they can't use KTP and KK, so the operator only has to choose which method to use, facial recognition, fingerprint or irish," added Ketut Prihadi.
Ketut Prihadi also assured that with this method, operators could no longer make excuses like the Ilham Bintang case, but they had to be responsible for the validity of their customer data.
