Abstract
As a medium that facilitates various activities easily, safely, and has no geographical boundaries, internet is often misused by terrorists to support their activities. Terrorists continue to look for any chances to exploit various vulnerabilities on the internet system and network, in order to avoid the rules and pressure from the government. The existence of the internet indirectly expands terrorist activities, one of them is their funding. Through the internet, terrorists can raise funds with a wider, faster, anonymous, and greater amount. Thus, this paper aims to describe the terrorism funding method trends in the information and technology era in Indonesia, its vulnerabilities, and the recommendation to reduce the misuse of the internet by terrorists. To analyze this trend, the conceptual framework of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is used which divides terrorism financing activities on the internet into four groups, namely direct solicitation, e-commerce, exploitation of online payment tools, and charitable organizations. This research was conducted using qualitative method, which the primary data was obtained through discussions with experts from Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88), Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), digital forensic experts, as well as journal literature reviews and reports from PPATK and Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
