webfact Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Sanook reported that a website called Nong P3 had reported a post allegedly from the Dark Web claiming to want to sell data after a hack of Thailand's Ministry of Public Health database. They were prepared to sell 146 files containing the data of 16 million people for $500 or just over 16,000 baht. The data included addresses, telephone and mobile numbers, ID numbers, dates of birth, fathers' names and hospital information in both Thai and English. Sanook said that the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society had contacted the MoPH to investigate and the post had now been taken down. The media indicated that many people online were treating the story as a joke. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-09-07 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Yeah, we're screwed, not that it was unexpected, as some of gave a vast trove of personal information away in an effort to secure a vaccine, registering with every "government" program. I'm already seeing a ramp up in cold/robo calls, texts and emails. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomacht8 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Dealing with sensitive patient data. Recently it was Bangkok Airways, now 16 million hospital records. The inability of those responsible can no longer be surpassed. Have credit card details and bank account details been hacked as well? An official reassurance statement would help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Well, the Ministry of Information must be overworked with blocking all those international websites which publish true and untrue stories, facts and figures about Thailand. Those officers not busy with the above are closing all those websites of "ill repute" - understandeable they cannot also work on data security.

Popular Post BobinBKK Posted September 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2021 Was it really a hack? As we have seen and brought to light by Richard Barrow that simply logging in exposed someone else's data. The only hack I see here are the hacks disguised as software developers trying to save face for their own stupidity as usual... I wonder how much longer it will be before they blame it on Westerners for inventing the internet? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
