This community service activity aims to provide legal education related to increasing awareness of the potential threat of misuse of personal data resulting from the use of online loan applications for debt and receivable transactions, as well as a preventive effort so that migrant workers in Malaysia avoid these potential losses. The method used in this activity is outreach by providing material on Legal Education to Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia to Anticipate Misuse of Personal Data as a Response to the Rise of Illegal Online Loans. Explicitly addressed to Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia, online on Sunday, 26 May 2024.
