Low digital literacy in rural communities is a big gap for increasing cases of digital crime such as online fraud, phishing, and the spread of hoaxes. This community service activity aims to increase the understanding and awareness of the community of LK.I Sukamulia Village, Sinaksak Village, Tapian Dolok District, Simalungun Regency regarding the importance of cybersecurity through community-based basic training. The activity was carried out for five days, attended by 50 participants with various professional backgrounds such as farmers, traders, laborers, motorcycle taxi drivers, teachers, and online entrepreneurs. The method of implementing the activity consisted of the initial survey stage, module preparation, interactive training, direct practice, and evaluation of results. The material presented included an introduction to digital threats, how to create a secure password, the use of two-factor authentication, and the practice of using security applications. Evaluation was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests as well as observations during the activity. The results showed an average increase in participant understanding of 83% after participating in the training. In addition, the Village Digital Community was also formed as a sustainable step for local digital security education. This activity proves that a practical and contextual educational approach can increase community resilience to digital risks and can be replicated in other villages to expand the impact of community service.
