Using normative juridical methods, and legal, comparative and conceptual approaches, this research examines the protection of victims of cyberstalking crimes in Indonesia based on positive law . The progress of internet use in Indonesia from all sectors, whether using the internet for schools, business, or other communications, has made people freer to use internet access. However, this freedom will have a negative impact if there are no restrictions in the form of clear legal rules. The existence of the stalker phenomenon, where someone can obtain data anonymously and then carry out stalking, threats and other unpleasant acts that threaten life, are actions that can harm other people and are even dangerous actions. In Indonesia, cyberstalking is still included in the realm of ethics because there are no regulations that regulate it, so the author here is trying to formulate regulations that can become a legal basis for protecting victims of cyberstalking crimes according to several existing laws and regulations in Indonesia.
