Thousands who signed up for Thailand Pass receive scam email

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Thousands who signed up for Thailand Pass receive scam email

Post by techietraveller84 »

Just wanted to put this out there in case you know of anyone who recently signed up for Thailand Pass.

Thousands of people, both Thais and foreigners, who signed for the country’s Thailand Pass program received a fraudulent phishing email asking for personal details.

The emails, which were sent out over the past several days, asked the recipient for their details including their full name, their date of birth, and the last four digits of their passports.

Authorities are advising those who receive the email to not respond to the queries and to delete and block the address.

The Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which runs the Thailand Pass program, have said previously that security was of the utmost importance and that previous personal data leaks linked to the program had been fixed.

Calls to the government spokesman on Tuesday were not immediately returned. The Prime Minister’s Office said they were unaware of the incident and would investigate. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately return calls regarding the incident.
