Digital fraud increasingly exploits trust, urgency, and emotional responses rather than technical weaknesses alone. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the digital security literacy of residents of Karang Malang, Gunungpati, Semarang. The activity was conducted on 19 August 2026 as part of the Community Service Program of Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang, using participatory education, case discussion, simulation, and the practical message ‘Do Not Panic, Do Not Click, Do Not Share Codes.’ A post-activity Kahoot quiz involving 30 participants consisted of 15 questions completed in 11 minutes. The overall correct-response rate was 71%, and all participants completed the quiz. However, only 7% answered correctly a question about an online contact requesting emergency money. The finding highlights the need for repeated scenario-based practice, simple verification procedures, and continuing dissemination through digital pocket guides and community communication channels.
