According to a report by Prachachat Business, the Thailand Securities Depository (TSD) has confirmed that its Investor Portal system was recently compromised by a cyberattack. The breach has reportedly affected approximately 200,000 investors.
TSD officials, including Ms. Pitchaya Chomchaiya, clarified that the leaked information consists of nearly 10 categories of personal data. This includes names, securities account numbers, bank account details, and the names of associated securities companies or banks. Crucially, the TSD has explicitly stated that no data regarding actual stock holdings or investment balances was accessed or leaked during the incident.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand who utilize the Investor Portal, this event serves as a reminder to remain vigilant regarding potential phishing attempts or unauthorized contact related to their financial accounts.
