Recent trends in cybercrime within Southeast Asia have shown an unsettling rise, with the darknet becoming increasingly prevalent as a medium for illicit activities. Moreover, the accessibility of hacking tools and the allure of the cyber world may tempt many youths into illegal practices, often without full awareness of the legal ramifications and the harm they inflict upon society.
This initiative recognises the urgent necessity to intervene constructively in these formative stages. This concept paper proposes an awareness campaign strategy, targeting young people at risk of conducting cyber criminal activities to guide them onto a better path.
