PM Anutin's Personal Data Leaked on Thai Social Security Office

The personal data of Thailand’s Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, was allegedly leaked and used to register for services with Thailand's Social Security Office (SSO). The breach highlights vulnerabilities in the SSO's online system, which experts warn can be easily exploited to impersonate individuals and access sensitive data.

Thanarat Kuawattanaphan, CEO of DomeCloud, publicized the issue on Facebook, criticizing the SSO website for having numerous security loopholes despite substantial investment in its development. He demonstrated this by showing that someone registered the PM’s name on the platform, revealing his 750 baht monthly contribution from 2004.

Additionally, reports suggested that Anutin’s traffic violation records were accessed, displaying 23 offences each with a 500 baht fine. Thanarat recommended that Thailand adopt AAL2, a robust identity verification standard requiring multi-factor authentication, to mitigate such security issues.

Previously, a nationwide data leak was reported in March by People's Party MP Pawoot Pongvitayapanu, revealing that data of 66 million Thais from the SSO database was available for sale on the dark web. Pawoot criticized officials for not notifying the public about the breach or the subsequent remedial measures.

Despite alleged resolutions, no official statements or clarifications have been issued regarding the latest data leak. Security experts continue to urge swift action to strengthen data protection and prevent future breaches, emphasizing the critical need for transparent communication with affected citizens.
