inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid and Chief of Indonesian National Police (INP) General Listyo Sigit Prabowo solidify their cooperation in handling cases of fake base transceiver stations (BTS) and online gambling that are disturbing the public.

Both emphasized their joint commitment to take action against the perpetrators of these cyber crimes.

"Digital space security is a priority. There is no tolerance for cyber criminals who threaten public order," said Meutya on Monday (3/10/2025).

She emphasized the importance of close collaboration between the government and law enforcement in an effort to create a safe and trusted digital ecosystem.

Meanwhile, General Sigit said that the police's cooperation with the Ministry of Communication and Digital includes increasing personnel capacity and providing technological support in overcoming crimes in the digital space.

Previously, the Ministry of Communication and Digital has received many reports from the public regarding the sending of fraudulent SMS.

By using fake BTS devices, criminals can transmit signals as if it was from official operator BTS and send messages containing fake prize offers or requests for personal data.
