In an unexpected twist, the Bangkok Noi Metropolitan Police Station's Facebook page became the backdrop for a cybersecurity scandal this morning, showcasing explicit pornographic content instead of its usual updates. Followers were taken by surprise when the page, boasting over 2,000 followers, displayed around 18 indecent images and videos, marking a sharp deviation from its routine posts.

 

Officials quickly explained the breach as an act of cyber mischief, clarifying their non-involvement with the explicit material. Immediate actions were taken to restore the page and enhance security measures to prevent further digital intrusions. This incident mirrors a similar hacking of the National Office of Buddhism's page in Thailand last year, which was also peppered with obscene content, leaving over 80,000 followers stunned.

 

 

The police, now with raised vigilance, are prioritising strategies to protect their social media presence. Engaged in damage control, they aim to reassure their followers and prevent another cyber breach. Meanwhile, netizens have expressed mixed reactions, ranging from shock to humor, with some teasing the idea of admins forgetting to switch accounts.

 

As authorities work to regaining control and the trust of their audience, both the police and the public are reminded of the pervasive threat that hackers pose, underscoring the need for robust digital security measures, reported The Thaiger.
