The Department of Provincial Administration has denied claims made online that a link on a vaccine checking website was fraudulent.

 

Claims made online said that no one should enter numbers after their Thai ID number then click on a link to check on vaccine matters. 

 

It would result in a data leak that could be used by criminals. 

 

There appeared to be different requests for people who had already had the vaccine and those yet to be jabbed. 

 

DOPA confirmed that it was above board, reported Daily News. 

 

The site had been initiated by two Thai ministries, interior and health, and involved clinking a link after entering Thai ID and other numbers.

Hard to tell these days between websites that work and those that are fraudulent... so many that don't work appear to be scams.

Is there any Thai government website that is NOT leaking data?

Oh yeah. Couple of ministries. What a relief! Trusted experts at the helm.
