Following a rumor that more than 2.2 million Thai people’s personal information had been leaked, Public Health Minister Cholnan Srikaew gave his guarantee on Tuesday that patient information is safe and secure.
The Rural Doctors Society ( RDS ) claimed that 2.2 million Thai citizens ‘ information had been sold to a dark website for US$ 10, 000 ( 360, 300 baht ). Dr. Cholnan made the statement in response.
One month after a thief threatened to release the specific information of 55 million Thai immigrants, the RDS claimed the information was leaked.
According to the RDS’s Facebook post, that hole originated from the Public Health Ministry’s Mor Prom game.
The government requested an explanation, noting that it has been receiving concerns from numerous institutions regarding the sharing of information online.
The RDS noted that the team at most state hospitals lack excellent information engineering skills, but they were given the task of working on website information sharing without a suitable budget or well-organized instructions.
The late leaked information includes the 13- decimal Thai federal ID numbers, according to Dr Cholnan. He claimed that the Public Health Ministry had no connection to the hole.
He stated that he would meet with the NCSA ( National Cyber Security Agency ) for a press conference on March 20.
Hospitals in Phrae, Phetchaburi, Narathiwat and Roi Et, the four captain provinces in the 30- baht medical system that shares patients ‘ info online, are now being controlled carefully, he said.
There will be staff training for hospitals that have n’t yet been connected to the system.
The common health minister said,” I assure you that our system prioritizes the personal information security of people.”
Dr Surakameth Mahasirimongkol, the agency’s official and chairman of its Information and Communication Technology Centre, said the heart has been working with the NCSA and various organizations to probe the leaked data.
According to him, an initial evaluation suggested it was more concerned with financial transactions than health-related data.
