Pemprov Papua Perkuat Literasi Digital untuk Cegah Kejahatan Siber

JAYAPURA - Pemerintah Provinsi Papua melalui Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatika terus memperkuat upaya pencegahan kejahatan siber dengan mendorong literasi digital di tengah masyarakat. Langkah ini dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran terhadap berbagai ancaman di ruang digital.

Program edukasi dilakukan melalui sosialisasi di berbagai lapisan masyarakat, mulai dari kampung, lembaga keagamaan, sekolah hingga perguruan tinggi. Materi yang disampaikan mencakup bahaya penipuan online, peretasan akun, serta penyebaran hoaks.

Kasie Hubungan Kerja Sama Media Kominfo Papua, Maria Magdalena, mengatakan peningkatan literasi digital menjadi langkah penting dalam mencegah kejahatan siber yang terus berkembang.

“Kami memberikan edukasi literasi digital di berbagai tempat seperti gereja, masjid, sekolah, hingga perguruan tinggi,” ujarnya.

Menurutnya, rendahnya pemahaman masyarakat terhadap keamanan digital masih menjadi celah bagi pelaku kejahatan siber. Karena itu, pendekatan preventif terus diperkuat melalui edukasi yang berkelanjutan.

Selain itu, Kominfo Papua juga melakukan koordinasi dengan aparat penegak hukum serta lembaga terkait untuk mendukung upaya pencegahan dan penindakan.

“Kami juga bekerja sama dengan Polri serta berkoordinasi dengan pihak terkait seperti BSSN dalam mengantisipasi kejahatan di dunia maya,” katanya.

Pengawasan terhadap konten digital dan implementasi regulasi juga terus dilakukan, termasuk verifikasi informasi yang beredar di masyarakat untuk menekan penyebaran hoaks.

"Kolaborasi antara pemerintah, masyarakat, dan berbagai pihak menjadi kunci dalam menciptakan ruang digital yang aman," ucap Maria. ***

JAYAPURA — The Papua Provincial Government, through the Communication and Informatics Office, is continuing to strengthen efforts to prevent cybercrime by promoting digital literacy among the public. This step aims to increase awareness of various threats in the digital space.

We reach out to people across different layers of society, including villages, religious institutions, schools, and universities. The materials delivered include the dangers of online fraud, account hacking, and the spread of hoaxes.

Head of Media Cooperation Relations at Papua Kominfo, Maria Magdalena, said that improving digital literacy is an important step in preventing cybercrime, which continues to evolve.

"We provide digital literacy education in various places such as churches, mosques, schools, and universities," she said.

According to her, the public's limited understanding of digital security still creates opportunities for cybercriminals. Therefore, preventive efforts are being continuously strengthened through ongoing education.

In addition, Papua Kominfo is also coordinating with law enforcement authorities and related institutions to support prevention and enforcement efforts.

"We also work with the police and coordinate with related parties such as BSSN in anticipating cybercrime," she said.

Monitoring of digital content and implementation of regulations are also continuing, including verification of information circulating among the public to suppress the spread of hoaxes.

"Collaboration between the government, the public, and various parties is the key to creating a safe digital space," Maria said. ***
