Proactive Community Development Strategy for Cyber Threat Prevention Using “Do not Believe, do not rush, Do not Transfer”: The Role of Rajabhat University in Building Sustainable Local Immunity

Abstract

This academic article aims to elevate the Royal Thai Police's cyber vaccine concept, "Do not believe, do not rush, do not transfer, know the tricks" into a proactive "community development strategy" by integrating multidisciplinary approaches to concretely build grassroots immunity. In the volatile and complex BANI world, cybercrime has emerged as a national threat, causing severe damage to the grassroots economy, particularly among vulnerable groups such as the elderly and farmers. This academic article presents the integration of the Royal Thai Police's "Do not believe, do not rush, do not transfer" cyber vaccine concept into Rajabhat University's proactive community development strategy as a local development institute. Utilizing systemic thinking frameworks and "Social Engineer" mechanisms, the strategy aims to transform vulnerable populations into active defenders.The analysis identifies "Cognitive Delay" as the critical leverage point for breaking the cycle of loss. The development strategy encompasses three main pillars: 1) The "Do not believe" strategy focuses on building critical awareness through community fact-checking centers. 2) The "Do not rush" strategy aims to cultivate mindfulness through role-play simulations and the "5-minute pause" community rule. 3) The "Do not transfer" strategy focuses on behavioral shields through the "Diamond Shield Family" project and digital safety networks. In conclusion, Rajabhat University serves as a "Strategic Linkage," connecting national policies to local actions to foster resilient and digitally literate communities in the era of digital disruption. This article studies the Royal Thai Police's proactive crime prevention project aimed at building resilience against technology-related crime. It adapts this project into a development strategy for Rajabhat Universities to extend academic services and expand the program. However, there may be limitations in its implementation, requiring adaptation of the strategy to the specific context of each Rajabhat University and their respective academic service areas in Thailand. The primary driver of this initiative is the "social engineer" mechanism.
