Thai government increases cybersecurity following hacks in Europe

The Thai government has ordered a significant strengthening of national cybersecurity following recent hacker attacks on critical control systems in several European countries.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul instructed the National Security Council (NSC) to coordinate with key agencies to boost protection for data and systems vital to national security, the economy, and public services.
The initiative prioritizes preparedness and prevention, learning from Europe's experience where cyberattacks disrupted essential services like food supplies, health, and energy, not just data.
The NSC is also seeking cooperation from the private sector, urging them to review and fortify their cybersecurity, especially for control and public service systems, to plug vulnerabilities.
