BANGKOK — Police said today they would go after the hacker collective known as Anonymous after its members took down hundreds of court websites and released sensitive data it claimed to have obtained.

Following Wednesday’s massive Anonymous attack in protest of the outcome of the Koh Tao murders trial, police spokesman Dechnarong Suticharnbancha said the Technology Crime Suppression Division would track down the self-described hacktivists for prosecution.

He acknowledged police still have no clue where the attacks originated from.

Courts spokesman Suebpong Sripongkul said Wednesday that at least 10 IP addresses linked to the attacks from outside the country were identified.

Statements posted online to accounts used by members of Anonymous indicated the attacks were part of a campaign to call attention to corruption in Thailand’s justice system after two Myanmar men were found guilty and sentenced to die for the deaths of two Britons on Koh Tao in September 2014.

Well, either it will be in Thai or in very badly translated Patagonian English.

[NongKhaiKid]

Of Course they'll catch them, can only be a matter of time as their efficiency is legend.

Will they actually arrest them or issue summonses for Anonymous members to report to the BIB whenever they have some free time ?

[onetime]

Everyone should change their social media picture to an anonymous face in support.

[Squeegee]

The stupid Thai police will no doubt be scouring this forum in desperation and hoping they can snag someone in-country they can make into their habitual unfounded scapegoat. That's about as good as they can do.

Thailand: way out of its depth in the 21st Century.

[honoluludave]

If the rest of the world can not figure out who these guys are, what makes the Thai police think that they can?

[trd]

They have already issued an arrest warrant for a suspect named as Khun Anonymous.

10 IP addresses from outside the country. Maybe they were in the country but using proxy servers to hide their real IP addresses.

I have been asking to police to help me and find the car owner address that hit my car in a parking lot

and run away, that's was 2 weeks ago and nothing done, good luck with finding some guys hunching

over keyboards in some dark rooms that could be anywhere in the world...

[deckape]

The less the RTP say about this the better. They are sticking their dicks in an angry hornets nest.

[never me]

I LIKE Anonymous.

Only the Chinese government or highly paid astrologers would be willing to help the RTP is such a pursuit.

Sorry, we aren't in the 21st century in Thailand, we are in 2559.

I can see anonymous getting their passports taken away & sued for defamation soon.

Ok, let's say you catch the hackers..., but what if the hackers are not in Thailand, how will you catch them? Nevermind, don't let that detail stand in the way of a perfectly executed vow. Wow! BowVowWow!

[arrowsdawdle]

I foresee a couple more Burmese going to jail.

Yep, these migrant Burmese are the hackers, burn them at the stake.

[Norvid 1950]

The Thai police should make an announcement that DNA found on their computers matches Hacker Unanimous and soon they will make an arrest as soon as they trace it to another country. The main thing is their logic.

[oztaurus]

The RTP should be able to round up Khun Anonymous quite quickly - they even have his photo on this article, just a matter of cross-checking his TM6 and getting his address from that.

Duuuuh you think so.....hackers masking IP's?? You should be leading the investigation.

Thailand can't even catch Thaksin who is very transparent about where he is when meeting people in neighboring countries, and these Jacques Clouseau wannabes are posturing for Thai citizens as though having IP addresses is some kind of accomplishment or has any significance at all.

You realize there are ways of enforcing laws internationally, right? You don't just give up when the bad guy leaves town.

News Flash: Anonymous Hackers Already Caught! The police have identified them as two Burmese migrants and their accomplices, a Red Shirt organizer from Koen Kaen and a human rights lawyer from the UK...

[Big Daddy]

NEWS FLASH

10 IP addresses have been banned from Thailand and ordered to pay 500 baht fine...

[kinmaew]

I'd be interested to know how this works here if anyone knows.

1. Thai police ID IP address overseas - Common knowledge to be able to Id the country or even the city of the IP address but not the name of the person or their address.

2. To my knowledge only the IP service provider can divulge the actual name and address of the person IF they have broken the law in the country of the IP service provider or international law (Where extradition treaty exists).

Criticising Thai police is not a breach of international law or law in most countries so therefore they have no way of finding out who the hackers are.

Does that sound correct or have I missed something?

If they are in the US, there is a good chance they would agree to extradite

Be carefull they may try to prosecute you for doing that to.

After wikileaks,maybe the government needs to brace itself for anonyleaks.
