Are they sure it did not originate from China and was bounced through servers and such around the world?, just making sure.  I talked with a friend who works in cyber in the US and he indicated there is a lot of international crime, scams, and computer fraud emanating from China right now as well as the Ukraine.

Nope. They definitely say “ based in United States”

I have an IEEE published nephew who works in Cyber security and, if I asked him about international cyber crime (which I don't), he would probably say 'Sorry that's classified information.'

Not really there are security forums who report on these crimes on a weekly basis.

Yes there are security forums and then there are some who actually DO contract or work for NSA.

I read the headline with interest right up to the last word - 'police'. If they can't collect over 90% of traffic fines what credibility have they in tracing hackers?

First it was Indians with a server based in Singapore, now the US. They actually have no clue where this hack originated, VPN servers hide all tracks and with Thailand's lax approach to cyber security their detecting skills are suspect. Hacking gangs are often detected via known malicious code that is a common feature within certain hacking groups that leave imprints to their origins.

Good to see the China phobes out in force. Hackers only reside in Russia or China, no one in the USA would do such a thing. Where is the mis-information ministry when needed to stop these viscous lies.

The Chinese graciously assisted with the investigation.

VPN's might give some protection, but very limited.

 

I remember a few years ago the USA desperately needed to track someone behind the HMA VPN.......it took them a day to find him.

Absolutely hilarious that a hacker in us would even bother with this.

 

Like another poster hilariously said....a strong $500 value.

Who knows? They might be making progress in developing their IT sector. Perhaps they've finally upgraded all their computers to Windows 97? ????

Only limited if the VPN keeps records. It really depends what VPN you choose. Some destroy records all the time.

You assume that the same people who do the tracking are those that make apps. I mean the average standard might be low but that does not mean they don't have good people. Probably not much but there is talent everywhere just less in this area for Thailand. But if they still get those talents then its possible.

 

But I think a lot of the reasons why Thai apps are so insecure with data is that the data protection act is not ratified. So companies don't get in trouble when they lose data. So they keep their IT budgets low as the fallout costs less then good protection.

Maybe they mis-typed and left a couple of letters off, like SR.

Let me guess, you are US American. 

You are the good guys.
