There they might have been surprised to find their names, ID numbers, birthdays, banks and bank account numbers listed along with those of more than 2,000 others in a publicly accessible spreadsheet.

"land of leaks"

Yes, data breaches only happen in Thailand. I wonder if some posters live in a protective bubble that prevents them from being aware of what goes on in the world.

1 billion data records compromised in data breaches

More than 1,500 data breaches led to one billion data records compromised worldwide during 2014, according to Gemalto’s Breach Level Index (BLI). These numbers represent a 49% increase in data breaches and a 78% increase in data records that were either stolen or lost compared to 2013.

Did you not understand what he was saying? Why are so many people cropping up with spelling and grammar corrections lately, do you have nothing better to do? This is a social forum, these are not legal documents, it's so tedious.

My one year extension was expiring in three weeks so I decided to get an extension. When I read the request for banking information I stated I did not want to give that. The immigration officer said ok never mind. I didn't have to give it. Got my extension.
