Perkembangan teknologi digital yang semakin pesat memberikan berbagai kemudahan dalam aktivitas komunikasi dan transaksi masyarakat, namun juga diikuti oleh meningkatnya ancaman kejahatan siber seperti love scamming, smishing, dan phishing. Rendahnya literasi keamanan digital menjadi salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan masyarakat rentan menjadi korban berbagai bentuk penipuan berbasis teknologi. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan, kesadaran, dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mencegah kejahatan siber melalui program Gerakan Sadar Siber di Desa Sidomulyo, Kecamatan Cepiring, Kabupaten Kendal. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi edukasi, diskusi interaktif, studi kasus, simulasi, dan pendampingan langsung terkait keamanan digital dan perlindungan data pribadi. Kegiatan diikuti oleh 35 peserta yang terdiri atas perangkat desa dan masyarakat umum. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta yang ditunjukkan oleh kenaikan nilai rata-rata pre-test dari 42,7% menjadi 91,8% pada post-test. Selain itu, terjadi peningkatan perilaku keamanan digital pada seluruh indikator, seperti penggunaan kata sandi yang kuat, aktivasi verifikasi dua langkah, kehati-hatian dalam mengakses tautan, perlindungan data pribadi, dan pelaporan pesan mencurigakan. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa edukasi dan pendampingan melalui Gerakan Sadar Siber efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi keamanan digital masyarakat serta memperkuat kemampuan mereka dalam mencegah ancaman love scamming, smishing, dan phishing di lingkungan masyarakat.
Rapid advancements in digital technology have facilitated communication and transactions but have also been accompanied by rising threats of cybercrimes such as love scamming, smishing, and phishing. Low digital security literacy is a key factor rendering the public vulnerable to various forms of technology-based fraud. This Community Service (PKM) initiative aimed to enhance public knowledge, awareness, and skills regarding cybercrime prevention through the "Cyber-Aware Movement" (*Gerakan Sadar Siber*) program in Sidomulyo Village, Cepiring District, Kendal Regency. The implementation methods included education, interactive discussions, case studies, simulations, and direct guidance on digital security and personal data protection. The activity involved 35 participants, comprising village officials and members of the general public. Results indicated an improvement in participant understanding, evidenced by a rise in the average score from 42.7% in the pre-test to 91.8% in the post-test. Furthermore, there was an improvement in digital security behaviors across all indicators, such as using strong passwords, enabling two-step verification, exercising caution when accessing links, protecting personal data, and reporting suspicious messages. These findings demonstrate that education and guidance through the Cyber-Aware Movement are effective in boosting public digital security literacy and strengthening the community's ability to prevent threats like love scamming, smishing, and phishing.
