Police continue to investigate hack of prison surveillance cameras

By The Nation

 

 

Pol Col Siriwat Deephor deputy commander of Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), provided an update on Thursday (December 26) on the progress made in the investigation into the hacking of several surveillance cameras in Lang Suan prison in the southern province of Chumphon that live streamed the faces of the inmates and the conditions inside the jail on Youtube. 

 

The broadcast on YouTube was live for several hours on Tuesday (December 24) on an account named ‘BigBrother’s Gaze’. 

 

The deputy commander said that the lawyer of the Corrections Department has secured all the evidence and sent his report to police who would request more information from the company that installed the surveillance cameras in the prison. He believed that the hacker wanted to show off his skills, pointing to the many cases where hackers log into servers to show they can but don’t touch sensitive data.

 

“The police are investigating the identity of the hacker. Should he or she prove to be a foreigner, they will coordinate with international police,” Siriwat said.

 

The footage has now been removed from Youtube with an apology in both English and Thai. The message reads: “I apologise for making people mad. but the truth is there was no hacking since all the leaked footage is in public servers. However, no more pictures or footage will be broadcast on Youtube. I suggest regular changes of the password and prohibiting the use of the default password given by the factory.”

It seems 123456 does not cut as a password any more.

Unbelievable, but not a peep about the sub-human conditions the inmates are forced to endure around the clock then.

What a big, juicy serving of humble pie this is for the authorities.

I can see the footage above was on a Tuesday, as I remember that on Tuesdays there was always rice pudding for desert.

Wow should criminals be treated to 5 star conditions after some of them have committed unhumane injustice to others. Justice in the democratic western world should do the same as it may help in cutting the crime rate. No privilages to any law breakers.

Heaven anyone should be housed, sentenced and put into one of these pathetic jails. Those that have never served or worked in the criminal justice system often show their ignorance by their own lack of first hand knowledge. Do some research and become educated on the topic.

Got a lot of learning to do ???? where do you live?

Some people on here need to stop being idiots and take a day off, yes the inmates may have done wrong but that doesn't mean that they should be kept in inhuman conditions !!!

 

2 to 3 to a cell, clean sanitation, edible food and a safe environment is all that is needed, I can't wait for some of you planks to fall foul of the authorities, let's see who cries foul then.

Take care what you are posting on Facebook or everywhere else. One wrong comment or share and you will find yourself as a criminal in a Thai prison. This happens to many Thais too. Can happen very quick.
