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
