Siripong has ordered all transport agencies to intensify cybersecurity measures and update passwords to prevent hackers, following the breach of Thai Airways' passenger database. He stressed that the National Cybersecurity Committee is closely monitoring the situation and is determined to track down and prosecute the offenders.
Siripong Angkasakulkit, Deputy Minister of Transport, revealed that after Thai Airways Public Company Limited suffered a cyberattack accessing passenger data, the ministry has instructed all related agencies and service operators holding public data to strictly secure their systems, regularly update access passwords, and avoid using easily guessable codes.
However, the government assures that agencies are already monitoring and protecting against cyberattacks, with the National Cybersecurity Committee vigilantly guarding against unauthorized access. The government also has measures to investigate and prosecute malicious actors who illegally access personal data from various systems.
“Although the incident involved a private sector system being attacked, the Ministry of Transport has used this issue to urge all agencies to tighten security for public data storage. It has also ordered enhanced security measures for data access passwords and the adoption of technology to detect misconduct.”
