Millennials are a group of new generation of youngsters that are most familiar with the internet. These adolescents are also at a higher risk of hoax activities online, particularly as related to COVID-19. However, the potential to become a victim is also accompanied by the ability to resolve the uncertainties caused by hoaxes. Millennials are more equipped to combat COVID-19-related frauds by promoting an active campaign. Therefore, this community service program intends to provide a practical solution in the form of a millennial-based group known as Malahoaks (Millenials Against Hoaks). Prior to this formation, preliminary activities, including workshops, were needed to combat hoaxes, specifically on COVID-19.
