It continues through Thursday, reported Naew Na who said that Gen Damrongsak Kittipraphat, RTP deputy commander, had been put in charge by RTP chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk.

international cybercrime conference.

I wonder if "social media monitoring" was on the agenda - anti government, anti-military, defamation and anti-establishment posts and whether Burma was represented? (the country's flag certainly was, 5th from right)

A tleast they have plenty of examples of data leakage to analyse over here.

 

 

 

Cybercrime division is the sort of luxurious harbor for elites as I learnt from our long time friend who is quite big Kahuna at RTP - that's why Interpol flew in asking "<deleted> are you doing?". 

Ah, slide show, how touchy )))

I'm sure there are plenty of very highly talented and likely highly paid security professionals in Thailand, I wonder how many of them work for any kind of government agency though?

 

I would suspect the real highly trained staff work for the larger corporations.

 

One question springs to mind, does Thailand have an equivalent of GCHQ / NSA, etc ?

Yes, from google:

 

The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) (Thai: สํานักข่าวกรองเเห่งชาติ) is a counter-intelligence and security agency of Thailand. It serves as part of the Office of the Prime Minister. Its headquarters is in Paruskavan Palace, Bangkok.
