Government task force to target AI cyber threats

Thailand's DES Ministry establishes an international public-private task force to combat escalating AI-driven cyber threats, simultaneously issuing urgent security advisories to five critical domestic sectors.
Chaired by the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA), this new working group will integrate cross-border intelligence sharing and coordinate rapid response protocols for cyber emergencies, following a meeting with major tech and payment platforms.
The initiative responds to a global surge in sophisticated cyberattacks, including 'zero-click' exploits (like suspected Pegasus spyware) and increased device intrusion attempts reported by Apple and Google.
Domestically, the DES Ministry dispatched formal warnings to high-risk sectors—money, capital markets, public health, critical infrastructure, and energy—instructing them to elevate crisis readiness, with contingency plans confirmed by central agencies.
