rkidlad Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Even if this story is true (which I doubt it is) don't announce to the public that you won against a hacker. Hackers, weather they're doing good work or bad, seem very ego driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I wouldn't brag , now you will have every egoistic hacker in the world test your security, the ones operating out of that army barracks in Beijing do a good job, so I am lead to believe..

Pib Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I feel so much better now that the National News Bureau of Thailand which is part of the Govt Public Relations Department has published this story clearing everything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) They were just showing their strength. Next time they will take information especially as Thailand is being so smug about it In this case it seems the Mouse was toying with the CAT. The powers that be here in LOS, may be underestimating the IT skills of Anonymous and others. In this day and age, big guns do not necessarily win wars, it is geeks at a keyboard who are the new warriors. Be careful PM.

Nowisee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Not sure if my radar is in need of tuning, but I seem to be reading more and more incredibly stupid "news" (used very loosely) coming from or generate as a result of ridiculous comments or actions from the current "leadership" (again used very loosely).

You mean the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has told them to lie about what really happened? I don't think they'd need to be told to do this, they'd do it as a matter of course anyway.

american12bthai Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 HACKER tried. (singular) awe... caught one IP address and blocked it? Think your system has no ZERO DAY exploit? If you work for CAT, expect you phones to acquire a strange virus./ Thanks for egging on a very dangerous element CAT. YOUR PR GUY NEEDS TO BE FIRED. NEVER TELL AN ANON ARM THAT THEY FAILED and attempt to rub it in. Honestly, i think they got all the data, and just havent told you. . THink about what your saying. If all the front sales desks have access to ALL CLIENT DATA... Trolling troll gets you trolled. - Dali lama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american12bthai Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thais are tough.

Shaunduhpostman Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If, as previously claimed a few days ago by CAT, the hackers failed to break into the CAT system, why the need to keep issuing statements nearly a week afterwards? Seems to just further confirm that the screen shots posted by Anonymous proving the break in were not indeed hoaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldroj Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Despite their propaganda, other media sources are reporting that the hacker group known as Anonymous had indeed hacked into CAT, and had also released details of customer accounts on Twitter! Another point missed by NNT is that the CAT website was offline on Thursday night. Just like his ‘big’ boss, Colonel Sap needs to realise that sometimes, it’s better to keep quiet and not say anything. Statements of denial are as good as an invitation to be well and truly hacked! The good colonel should start wearing a T-shirt with a target on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just1Voice Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Coming out and "bragging" that they stopped Anonymous is tantamount to waving a red cape in front of an angry bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLock Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 So some 12-year old kid tried to access you system 3 times with the username "admin" and password "123456"...and failed. Well done. Now you alerted all the hackers that have the tools...and now the motivation to get inside. I don't think you really understand the worldwide resources and tools these hackers have. They will penetrate your system... Maybe this will help you understand the ability of these hackers Colonel...it's just a matter of time...and whether you tell the truth or not. http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/worlds-biggest-data-breaches-hacks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
