NongKhaiKid Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 In recent reports about the govt and the internet wasn't it stated that a new cyber unit had been created and the govt was ready for anything prompting some members to post that it was a dangerous thing to say as Anonymous was likely to respond to the challenge and it seems has done so. Incidentally there's a story circulating, not officially, that recently Anonymous successfully hacked some Bkk police stations computer systems.

Briggsy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Most Thai govt websites are non-functional and/or non-interactional, often just glorified Facebook pages. Thailand is not an online society in terms of govt-to-population interface. The effect of this hack protest will be limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumbleweed Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Oh dear "They're not good enough to hack into our system and steal any of our data," Pol Gen Dejnarong Suthicharnbuncha told the news agency If this isn't begging for trouble, 9/11 was a peace gesture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmatix Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Good to hear the courts and the police exuding confidence about their abilities to protect their websites and information and nail the perps with prison sentences under the Computer Crimes Act, even if they are in foreign countries. It makes one feel confident in their ability to protect the public from serious crime and miscarriages of justice, knowing they can protect themselves so well.

EyesWideOpen Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I agree, hacking into some government web sites will not make any difference. However if they are able to hack into bank websites and show assets, there will be a whole lot of government officials who will be crapping in their pants tonight.......

Srikcir Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Likely denial of service. Big deal. Thus far, Anonymous has shown itself to be petulant and amateurish. Its admitted cyber attacks against the Thai government have not struck out as a war cry for truth but more of a "oh my goodness" whimper. Pol. Gen. Dejnarong is right to be defiant against such nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dejnarong is right to be defiant against such nonsense. Yes, denial of service is hardly the same as the end of the world is it? Still, it's a message! Then again, as others have noted, just how strategic are Thai government web sites? No slur intended on anyone at all: I imagine they are not as big and grand as Anonymous might wish for.
