Abstract

This chapter examines how education serves as a key strategy to combat cybercrime by specifically analysing misinformation and disinformation issues in Australia. The chapter analyses complex elements of the subject area to provide valuable insights which can shape upcoming educational approaches and inform policymaking decisions. Through education priority, the chapter supports an adaptive and practical cybercrime approach that respects ethical standards to protect individual rights. This research aims to build an essential basis for enhancing educational methods and policy systems across the Asia-Pacific region. This chapter points out that digital literacy and critical thinking skills must be developed in individuals because these abilities are essential for navigating and fighting against misinformation and disinformation in the digital environment. These educational programs prove essential because they teach citizens to identify trustworthy information, which helps build societal defences against cybercrime in the region.
