The latter involves deliberately manipulating parameters, such as an ID field that are then submitted through http_methods to the server. This should not be allowed to happen but with lax security sometimes can.

It seems that this method made it possible for other users data to be retrieved and displayed.

Show us your source evidence of website parameter manipulation occurring then?

Mr Barrow clearly stated  "All you have to do is change certain characters in the URL"

well, hacking being illegal, because it is "the gaining of unauthorized access to data in a system or computer", the direct conclusion of you calling Mr Barrow's actions "hacking" is that he should be punished by law.

luckily for Mr. Barrow, no hacking occured.

Well said!

Remedial action to fix the web site - wasn't that obvious? 

Well with the outright false assumptions / allegations you have made about Mr Barrow.

No, no it wasn't obvious.

Nope. Nowhere did I state that "he should be punished". 

You have been repeatedly making false accusations against the man, you even said he's pushing his luck and suggested the government could take "remedial action" which implies he's done something wrong.

If I were Mr Barrow I would be filing a defamation suit against you.

Don't get your point.  "Whoever" was Mr Barrow. He knowingly tampered with the website URL to gain access that was unauthorised. So I am assuming nothing. 

You are assuming a lot and your post demonstrates that perfectly.

and imagine, that all diplomatic corps, the UN officials all had to register through this website and that all their sensitive info is leaked and at mercy of local and international mafias.

A certain communist party not that far away would have been taking notes that's for sure.

"Some bugs on the websites may not safe for other, So please report us immediately and don't share it to public that would help."

That is the same as what I but you have edited out the relevant part of my post. Naughty, naughty!! ????????

That is because I am not speculating about what the use of the data would or could be.

I am just pointing out that comparing immigration having those details to them being leaked openly is completely different.

The Government already has your passport and visa details along with phone number and address. 

Yes but they are not exposed on the clearnet for anyone to gather.

without anyone actually having the true facts of this incident!

Well peoples personal details including passport numbers addresses and names were available for anyone to see.

That is a fact what am I missing? "pray tell"

And pray tell me why there would be a knock on the door? All that everyone has done is register for a vaccination and there is certainly nothing sinister in that. 

Try thinking a bit further down the line in view of the way things are going.

Exactly. If I were them who registered I would be a bit worried about the knock on the door after dark. Extreme, you never know,  I hope not the case but there are many parallels to how this corrupt administration is working like others in the past, and not so recent past also. Some of their own people have "disappeared" already, so nothing should be ruled out.

It's going south fast that's for sure I was reading an interesting article about which way things are going in Thailand which would be removed in about 0.1 seconds if I posted it here so I will dm it to you.

Well to play the devils advocate, now that the data breach has been recognised how do we know it was not a deliberate attempt by this administration, or individuals working for it, that by promoting  the registration process for expats, as many expats would wish for a vaccination, it was only a deliberate guise or trap for them to disclose their personal information, that has now enabled to be accessed by whom  ?

This kind of thing is honey for winnie the pooh and his minions, I bet they were taking notes.

A map of westerners living in Thailand with passport numbers etc is a goldmine for them.

The present Junta couldn't care less about what the average Thai person thinks. This is a plan to sell out Thailand to the Chinese.

Someone who gets it, people here assume this is for our benefit but it's clear what they are doing here. 

They make the requirements undesirable to potential western expats while selling Thailand to the Chinese under the guise of luring tourists.

OK, the article said it was renovated about 10 years ago.  And we know how things are built and maintained in these parts.  Might have needed a new straw roof and new foundation.

No it was in brand new condition it was just some bs they came up with as an excuse so they can get rid of it.
