Thailand Parliament Probes Massive Data Breach Affecting 67.1 Million Citizens

A civil society group petitioned Thailand’s parliamentary committee to investigate a data breach involving a government agency that exposed the national ID numbers and healthcare details of approximately 67.1 million Thai citizens. The petition was submitted by software expert Thanarat Kuawattanaphan to Alongkot Maneekat, chairman of the House Committee on Digital Economy, Society, and Cybersecurity. The breach was reported by Pattaya Mail, though no specific date of the incident or technical details of the leak were disclosed. The parliament has initiated a probe in response to the exposure, which affects nearly the entire population of Thailand. No CVE IDs or additional technical vulnerabilities were mentioned in the report.
