| Actor | Action | Rationale | |-------|--------|-----------| | Gojek | Push notification to all users: “Kami tidak pernah mengirimkan pesan seperti ini. Selalu cek detail driver di aplikasi resmi.” | Reinforce that the brand never uses external links. | | Grab | In‑app banner with a QR‑code linking to a safety guide on “How to verify driver identity”. | Provide a tangible verification tool. | | Indo18 | Removed the redirect URL after a takedown request from the Ministry of Communication. | Avoid being a vector for unwanted traffic. | | MAFIND (Fact‑check) | Published a video debunking the screenshots, highlighting key visual cues that betray a forgery (e.g., mismatched font weight). | Equip the public with detection skills. | | Police cyber‑unit | Logged the incident as “online fraud/harassment” and opened a case to trace the creator of the shortened URL. | Deter future malicious link‑sharing. |
