Suradit69 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hmmmm, well a safe railway ain't been sorted, kids driving motorised vehicles ain't been sorted, Gov offices doing different stuff ain't been sorted, bars run/worked by farangs with no WP ain't been sorted, so why should computer security be sorted.. Considering how often there are major breaches of government (including the US State Dept and National Security Agency), banking, credit card etc. computers around the world, computer security isn't all that great anywhere. Just ask Edward Snowden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinx Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 As this Andrew MacGregor Marshall posted on Facebook, "the scariest part of the story is that Thai immigration officials gave freelance programmer Akram Aleeming highly sensitive data including names, addresses and passport details of foreigners in southern Thailand, so he could build his "test" system. That's where the real data breach occurred." This Akram Alleging guy is supposedly a Computer Science from Thaksin University, and he uses the least secure "password" possible, and leaves personal information open because he "didn’t think anyone would find the website"?? It would be very interesting to know a LOT more about this "freelancer", including his address and passport number It'd become a lot more interesting to know his political agenda too.....

shagorillaHotel Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) the website has been taken down now but how many wayback machines are still holding the info. also the info was posted to a google spy ware map. they arent going to deleted that any time soon. my interest, i am currently in the south in an area that has been target by terrorist bombs not too long ago. the good news i wasnt on the map or data base, more a map of long termers than casual drifters like me. possibly only workers as i didnt see any with retired as occupation as by a casual perusal. many Philippians among them. ps was all written in thai, which i can read.

crazydrummerpauly Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It was mentioned before that any Thaivisa users who innocently clicked on that site to look at it as it was posted about multiple times last night may be subject to legal issues. Is that really a concern? I mentioned that as a concern. Probably not a big concern but they may be digging through the IP records of who accessed it to find the original source of the hack. Forgot to turn my VPN on before looking and before knowing what was going on. Does your VPN hide the websites you visit from your internet provider ? Most don't. They hide the content you view by encrypting it, but not the URL of the sites visited. Which is why TOR has gained in popularity - does that hide websites visited, anyone know ? (no geek here!)

geriatrickid Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Everything you do in Thailand requires copy of passport, home address etc, so whats the panic about??? If someone has no value in life, and no assets, and doesn't care about privacy, then there is nothing to worry about. However, if one is concerned about identity theft, loss of assets, harassment, kidnapping, extortion, break ins, security etc., then one should be very concerned. In the developed world when a company or government suffers this type of security breach, the data site pays for identity theft monitoring services and covers the losses people incur because of the breach. Thailand just made a fool of itself. It's disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnatong Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Don't know what the fuss is about, according to Maj. Gen. Thanusilpa, the immigration police commander, no 'important information' was stored on the site. name nationality passport number full address work details “There’s nothing on there,” Thanusilpa said... He didn't see the same map I did. All but work details was there. I saw this map here on TV last night, before the topic was taken down on the basis that it was somehow "illegal " for the subject to be debated on the forum. This is/was a very serious beach committed in the name of the Immigration Authority which compromised both personal privacy and, potentially the safety of many expats. This morning I informed my Embassy of this breach and provided the link to the site and screen shots of my data, I have also lodged a complaint using the 111 facility.
