webfact Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Police computers hit in latest Thai cyber attack Picture: Sanook BANGKOK: -- A computer virus attack on two areas of Thailand left the public unable to report crimes on Saturday. Deputy spokesman Ekarit Patanacharoen of the National Police Bureau said that the affected areas were in Chacherngsao and Sisaket, reported Sanook. The ransomware attack left the computers at 191 out of action from Saturday evening. TOT were called and partial service was resumed. But PPTV reported that even as of yesterday it was impossible to report crime in those two areas using emergency numbers. The spokesman said that all precincts had been warned to protect against cyber attack to make sure that their systems were not compromised.

JAG Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Well looking at the wide variety of times displayed on the clocks on the wall of the Sisaket Police Ops Room, their IT problems are pretty fundemental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it's only over 6 hours out ! Easy to see the attention to detail at this cop shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTHERNSTAR Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The last time a virus struck the police computers, protesters carried out the computers that held evidence against their protest leaders. I wonder if this virus will also be so selective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakhonandy Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Quick guess. SW out of date, illegal SW, no virus protection, no maintenance. Alternatively, all of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
