NBTC Cracks Down on Fraudulent IPs to Combat Tech Crimes
Reference picture courtesy: Freepik The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has launched a decisive campaign against fraudulent IP addresses in Thailand, aiming to curb technology-related crimes threatening both societal and national security. On 7th February 2025, a directive was issued to all telecommunications providers, demanding the identification and suspension of IP addresses linked to illicit activities. The move comes in coordination with banks and law enforcement, compelling commercial banks to divulge IP addresses used by criminals in mobile banking schemes. These institutions are tasked with tracing the digital footprint of fraudsters, particularly around server locations facilitating money transfers, sharing this vital data with investigative bodies. The Central Investigation Bureau, along with the Technology Crime Suppression Division, has provided a database of fraudulent IP addresses to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across the nation. This comprehensive dataset includes IP details, transmission timestamps, and server destinations used by criminal enterprises, along with relevant URLs and case identifiers as lodged by victims. ISPs have been instructed to immediately deactivate these IP addresses to stymie further fraudulent activities. They are also required to compile and convey related user data swiftly to police authorities within 24 hours, reinforcing the collaborative effort to dismantle digital crime networks. On 11th February 2025, NBTC's Deputy Secretary-General Triarat Wiriyasirikul reiterated the urgency of these measures in a follow-up communication to network providers. He stressed the importance of adhering to governmental mandates designed to safeguard consumer rights and national security, highlighting the potential for administrative action should compliance falter. In parallel, efforts have been intensified across Sa Kaeo province where cross-border mobile signals have been scrutinised. This region-specific focus aims to preemptively dismantle opportunities for call centre scams to exploit signal overlap across borders. Various measures, including signal cuts and adjustments to antenna placements on local towers, have been undertaken to minimise this risk. While these interventions might briefly impact the general public's mobile phone connectivity, the NBTC is actively working with service providers to install substitute mobile stations to mitigate potential disruption. In a landscape where technology misuse threatens to outpace regulatory capabilities, these proactive steps by the NBTC are a robust effort to protect the public and preserve the integrity of financial systems. As this initiative unfolds, the cooperation between telecommunications sectors and law enforcement will be crucial to maintaining a secure digital environment in Thailand, reported The Nation. -- 2025-02-13 -

Chemical Truck Brakes Fail, Crashes into Roadside Shop in Rayong
Picture captured from CCTV. A chemical truck, suffering brake failure, veered off the road and collided with a roadside shop in a dramatic incident in Rayong, although fortunately, no one was injured or killed. At approximately 10:00 on 12 February, a CCTV camera captured the terrifying moment when a chemical truck, following a pickup truck, lost control as it entered a junction on the Lahanrai-Donjan Road, Nonglalok Subdistrict, Ban Khai District. The truck spun out of control, struck a road sign, and then swerved into a shop on the side of the road, causing significant damage before coming to a halt. Following the crash, Lieutenant Colonel Apichat Konet-Suwann, from Nongkrab Police Station, rushed to the scene. The chemical truck, which was empty of chemicals at the time, was found stationary with its front bumper pressed against the shop. In addition to the shop’s damage, a streetlight pole and a directional sign were also destroyed, with police documenting the damage for evidence. The driver of the truck, identified as 52-year-old Udom explained that the vehicle had just left the depot and was empty when the incident occurred. Upon reaching the junction, he applied the brakes, but they failed to respond. With vehicles including a pickup truck and motorcycles ahead of him, he struggled to avoid a collision and ended up crashing into the shop. Plern, a 57-year-old shop owner, witnessed the truck losing control after taking a sharp turn from the junction. He reported that the driver had indicated the truck’s brakes malfunctioned, which led to the crash. Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the brake failure and will proceed with legal action as necessary. -- 2025-02-13 -
