Abstract The study illustrates how the socioeconomic impact of hacking can be minimized if we come up with intentional cybersecurity deterrents. Qualitative research design by Cheung & Matz (2016) utilized semi-structured in-depth interviews with key informants, comprising electronic hacking victims and local stakeholders in the Philippines (e.g., cybersecurity professionals). Through thematic analysis, the data were examined for emerging themes, including the financial and emotional impact on victims, the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, and the importance of education and policy in developing cybersecurity resilience. The report highlights the need for proactive measures such as public education and awareness campaigns, training institutions to deal with such threats, and employing strong cybersecurity measures. Therefore, this study adds to the growing body of literature concerning the multidimensional effects of cybercrime and offers some empirical evidence, information, and practical recommendations for improving digital safety. Its implications resonate with lawmakers, proponents, and any of us navigating the complicated realities of the digital reality.
