Immigration say their systems are secure - deny any of 106 million tourists' data breach was theirs

[Caldera]

If immigration didn't leak this huge dataset themselves, it's very obvious that they gave it to another department or company that subsequently leaked it. That this dataset originated at immigration cannot be denied.

Yeah, completely secure.

 

Saw two passport pages of a foreigner girl on the flipsite of the "Do not overstay" form they gave me last time at Chaengwattana...

 

She looked cute. Should I go back there and ask for her phone number?

To be fair to immigration i did hear (from a good source) that Burmese fishermen were to blame for this fiasco.

[Dont confuse me]

Good enough for me, it wasn't their fault because they said so! 

If you can't believe the National Immigration Bureau who can you believe? 

Answers on a postage stamp!

That's reassuring. Then absolutely nothing can go wrong. I'll sleep so much better tonight knowing that.

So where did the data come from? It was government stored data.  No other database held that record.  But at some point in time that data was leaked.  It was leaked from government databases.  Where else?  Nobody else needed the data of every foreigner entering Thailand.  Did they?

It sounds like Chinese CCP logic when denying blatantly obvious faults.

Remember when Chiang Mai immigration were photocopying their forms on the back of photocopies of other visitors passport bio data pages? 

 

Pepperidge Farm do.

It's just as well they hand-sprayed a few yards of the jungle border area with disinfectant then. And newbs will think I'm joking!

Is there a university in Thailand where Thais can graduate with a BA degree.....

 

Bachelor of A$$holes?

The current incumbent in charge didn't go to university he went to military academy, hence why he knows nothing along with quite a few others.
