Thai NCSA shuts down dtv.in.th and eta.in.th websites

[bwr5113]

A few days ago, Thailand's National Cyber Security Agency acted on multiple reports and shut down the phishing websites:

 

• eta.in.th -- ETA arrival card website
• dtv.in.th -- DTV digital nomad visa website
• asq.in.th -- ASQ quarantine website

 

These sites were designed in a way to appear as official resources, but were privately owned, and were created by an American expat living in Bangkok. The NCSA forced him and his Thai wife (who's name is on the WHOIS registration) to redirect the domains to non-3 letter domains and stop using the .th domain anymore (they now redirect to eta42.com, dtv42.com, and asq42.com).

 

They also forced them to put visible warnings at the top of each of these websites to warn visitors that these are not official Thai government resources, or risk further legal trouble.

@Ralf001 I'm not sure why "Thai Visa Centre" is responding, are they involved with these websites?

 

In any case, it would seem the National Cyber Security Agency disagrees with their claims, as they shut down the phishing sites.

I wonder how Thai visa centre gets hold of your email address? I got an offer from them some years ago when I had not previously contacted them, or any other agents.
