It is believed that the email database collected by the Thailand Pass website has been accessed by hackers who are using the list of applicants to spread malware. Users have reported receiving fake emails warning that there is something wrong with their Thailand Pass application and urging them to download an attachment from a link in […]

Users have reported receiving fake emails warning that there is something wrong with their Thailand Pass application and urging them to download an attachment from a link in the email. The test has some telltale warning signs such as poor English and punctuation.

TBH this wouldn't be that much of a red flag to me on something pretending to come from a Thai govt agency 😁

I received this email this morning. Fortunately realised it was fake before downloading anything. Worth pointing out that the email appears to have been sent from 'support@tp.consular.go.th' which is the Thaipass support email address.

I wonder what the response would be if a government website that contains all your personal information including your passport got hacked in your home country?

But this is Thailand. Nobody cares, just another day in the hub of hackable insecure systems.

Thanks in advance. 

Best,

Do you have anti virus software? I use Mcafee but others are available.

Run a scan on your machine and see what it detects then follow the instructions.

In the mean time do NOT buy anything using a credit or debit card from the internet in case it steals your card details.

Thanks so much for your help mate ! 

I ran the antivirus and they found a Trojan but that's about it. My assumption is the .vbs file that get installed when you click... and dumbass I .... clicked.... run several malwares.... RIP .... 

You are right I shall not buy anything using a credit or debit car for a certain time. Not on the PC I clicked on the email with yeah

      News Forum - Thai police arrest six Chinese nationals in call centre fraud bust

      Chinese?? Well I am astounded - it is so unlike the Chinses to be criminals. That reminds me - recently I was looking at all the uber wealthy rich families in Thailand - you know the ones that own just about everything between them - about 9 or so of them. I noticed that most of them have their 'ancestral homes' in China and their ancestors came to Thailand in early 20th century and the another wave after Mao took over. Someone once told me that the 'good' Chinese went to Taiwan, and the 'not so good' went to Thailand. Not sure if that is true at all. Asking for a friend.

      DTV & ..question..

      I wont argue at all - because mine was that way when in Chiang Mai and Rayong. However, that was not the case here in KK. In fact, because of all the additional and different rules they have here for annual renewals for Marriage, next year I am going to switch to Retirement - unless things change. Your current situation is great, but as I found out, there is no guarantee it will be that way in the future (they always change some rules here) - and it may not be that way if you ever change Provinces. Chiang Mai to Rayong was a change, but no problems - KK was insulting and difficult and unacceptable. One size does not fill all, as I found out the hard way in KK. 3 visits to Office, 2 visits to Bank, 3 Officers visited House, 2 Witnesses required in the house who both had to sign witness statements, Insufferable long 10 minute speech by General littledick (in Thai to the Wife and Witnesses), and a overwhelming desire to stand up and tell the little vagina that 'I bought this effin house and I spend over 1 million baht a year in this country - so eff off and get the eff out of my Wife's house you little ................ But because I cannot speak Thai and am older and have a lot more self control than when younger, I remained quiet and still and said nothing. And then I had to smile while they took a few photos - aarrgh!
