<![CDATA[Abstract: The development of digital technology in Indonesia has penetrated even rural areas, but it is not accompanied by an adequate understanding of personal data security. Rural communities tend to be vulnerable to cyber threats due to limited digital literacy. The purpose of this Community Service (PkM) activity is to increase awareness and knowledge of the community of Silo Lama Village, Silau Laut District, about the importance of personal data security in the digital era. The implementation method includes outreach, education, and practical training for the community using a participatory approach. The material presented includes the definition of personal data, types of cyber threats, how to protect personal information, and an introduction to the Personal Data Protection Law. The activity was attended by 30 participants consisting of village officials, community leaders, and the general public. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of personal data security, from an average pre-test score of 45% to 82% in the post-test. Participants were also able to identify various forms of online fraud and implement data protection measures. This program has made a positive contribution to improving the digital literacy of rural communities and is expected to prevent losses due to cybercrime in the future.
