gk10002000 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 yep. I had just tried to access it from here in the States and that is exactly what was displayed. As of this moment the site is now displaying a dark page saying something about service upgrades and technical difficulties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shady86 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Sounds like hacker from the south because thats Malay language which means pain hearted hackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexlowe Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Why the "upgrading" and "enhancing" "to serve you better" BS? Clearly a question of "face" here as it appears they do not want to admit they have been hacked. Newspapers are supposed to tell the truth. But then, shopkeepers probably don't know that.

shady86 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 They must have published upsetting news about the South Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommers Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The hackers must have been as sick as I am off seeing the same article for twelve days about some university team that won 100 000 baht. Looks like their journalists are seriously short of topics or their editor has a child in that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiaexpat Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Started getting virus warnings when accessing Bangkok Post site. Later got the message about upgrades to the site. Looks like more was hacked than the site since my virus protection detected a virus and closed the site on my computer. May be worth checking on Mac computers without full protection.

Next stop NK Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Sad to see another relatively open-mouthed outlet and media being crumpled in a country where speaking what you think and believe is today banned... No, they are still not up and running, maybe they never will be again, referring to my user name here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
