Abstract

This study aims to examine the forms of transnational cybercrime, the challenges faced in addressing it, and the importance of international cooperation in efforts to eradicate it. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive method with a normative legal approach, analyzing national legislation and international legal instruments related to cybercrime. The study results show that combating transnational cybercrime faces various challenges, such as differences in legal systems between countries, a lack of extradition mechanisms and mutual legal assistance (MLA), limited law enforcement capacity in developing countries, and technological gaps. Furthermore, there is still no global agreement on the definition and categories of cybercrime. International cooperation is a key factor in combating this crime through the enhanced role of international organizations such as INTERPOL and UNODC, strengthening multilateral legal frameworks like the Budapest Convention, and building technical capacity and information exchange between countries. There is a need for closer global synergy, regulatory harmonization, and political commitment from countries around the world to collectively address cybercrime
