Thai police deny that they have used Pegasus spyware to hack into the devices of anti-government elements, said Deputy National Police Spokesman Pol Col Krisana Pattanacharoen. This follows the recent release of a joint report, by iLaw, Digital Reach and Citizen Lab, which alleges that the spyware was used against Thai dissidents to monitor their online activity, the protests and to seek information about their sources of funding.

 

Insisting that Thai police have never resorted to the use of Pegasus spyware to break into the electronic device of any individual, Pol Col Krisana said, the police force has always complied with the law and performed their duties within its framework.

 

He said, however, that the police are duty-bound to enforce the law in the suppression and prevention of criminal offences, in maintaining peace and order to protect the life and property and to ensure national security.

555, thus dumping Prayut into the sxxxxt. If it wasn't the police it was clearly someone else in the security establishment or the military. I wonder who?

And they will be telling us next that RTP murdering suspects, as in the case of Ferrari Joe, is also within the accepted framework of police activities.

If they say no, then it must be true.

Easy to test. Put in your device the fictitious place of your hidden gold stash and see what happens

Ah, the old peace and national security chestnut. In other words, any protest against the pretend democratic government could cause unrest (in the corridors of power, nowhere else) and damage national their security. What's wrong with that? It's how real democracy works.

Yes, a very strong, unambigious denial from the police ... so it must be someone else ...

Indeed ... as well as taking a B6 million bribe, as reported elsewhere today.

Actually, it's probably not the government or the police.

The police soothsayer, perhaps...?

NSO has zero credibility. It doesn’t much matter what the company does or doesn’t admit to: it has prevaricated and outright lied enough times that nothing it says can be believed.

Governments, too, cannot be trusted to be truthful about the covert surveillance methods they employ. The smart money would be on Pegasus having been used by pretty much every country on the planet.

Okay, benefit of doubt. Now it's their duty to track down & prosecute those using the spyware in clear violation of the Computer Crimes Act, not to mention the Constitution. And their duty to protect the rights and persons of those who were targetted.
