Phishing is one of the cybercrime techniques used by perpetrators to steal victims’ information, ranging from personal data, accounts, and passwords to financial details.

The Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet) reported 21 phishing cases in Indonesia throughout 2024. This number declined compared to 2023, which recorded 108 cases.

Nevertheless, phishing strategies continue to evolve with various new approaches. Today, attacks are not only carried out digitally through text but also via phone calls and even physical actions.

According to SAFEnet, the platforms most frequently used in phishing schemes in Indonesia are ProtonMail, WhatsApp, Instagram, and organizational email, each with 7 incidents.

“This shows that perpetrators often exploit encrypted email services such as ProtonMail to disguise their identities and avoid detection,” SAFEnet noted in its Phishing Modus 2024 report.

Phishing actors also frequently target social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. The popularity of these platforms makes it easier for them to spread malicious links to users.

Here is the complete list of platforms/websites most commonly used for phishing in Indonesia in 2024, according to SAFEnet’s report:
