楠長官、特殊詐欺「国際協力を」 － タイ警察と連携強化を確認 https://t.co/sd2VUhRkbU
Thai authorities, including police and military units, have been implicated in running a coordinated 'Cyber Team' targeting civil society organizations, political opposition, and human rights activists. Leaked internal documents revealed that this team conducted phishing attacks, brute-force attempts to access social media accounts, and disseminated defamatory content online. The campaign reportedly aimed to undermine the work of groups such as Amnesty International, Thai Lawyers for Human Rights, and iLaw. Amnesty International has called for an investigation into these actions and urged the Thai government to hold those responsible accountable. Targets included prominent activists and pro-democracy figures, with the Cyber Team using aggressive online tactics. Separately, Thai police have been collaborating with Japanese authorities to address cross-border cyber scam syndicates operating from Myanmar, particularly in Myawaddy town. These scams have reportedly coerced individuals, including Japanese and Filipino nationals, into fraudulent activities under abusive conditions. Efforts include dismantling scam centers near the Myanmar border, where 7,000 victims have been rescued, and repatriating victims. Armed groups like the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army have reportedly profited from these operations.
