Penegakan Hukum Tindak Pidana Illegal Acces Pada Seleksi Tes CPNS Tahun 2021 Di Kabupaten Pringsewu

Abstrak

This study aims to analyze law enforcement efforts against the crime of illegal access during the 2021 Civil Servant Candidate (CPNS) selection process in Pringsewu Regency. The case emerged following the discovery of a cybercrime operation involving a syndicate of exam impersonators (jockeys) who used remote access applications and modified technological devices to unlawfully access the examination system. The research adopts both normative and empirical juridical approaches, utilizing data collection techniques through literature review and interviews with law enforcement officials and relevant stakeholders. The data were analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that the primary factors contributing to illegal access crimes include weak information system security, inadequate technical training for system administrators, and low digital ethics awareness among test participants. The impacts of these crimes are significant, including financial losses to the state, a compromised integrity of the selection process, and a decline in public trust in the civil servant recruitment system. Law enforcement against the perpetrators is carried out based on the provisions of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions. While law enforcement authorities have taken action to create a deterrent effect, various technical and regulatory challenges remain obstacles in the process. In conclusion, addressing illegal access crimes in CPNS selection requires a comprehensive approach, including strengthening cybersecurity regulations, enhancing the capacity of system administrators, consistent law enforcement, and educating test takers on digital ethics. These efforts are crucial to safeguarding the integrity of the selection process and restoring public trust in civil servant recruitment in the digital era.
