Bangkok police officers found themselves in a compromising situation this morning after their official Facebook page was compromised, resulting in the posting of explicit content.
The Facebook page of the Bangkok Noi Metropolitan Police Station, a government-run platform with over 2,000 followers, was unexpectedly flooded with around 18 pornographic images and videos, shocking those who follow the page.
Upon immediate investigation, it was determined that cybercriminals were behind the breach. The page, once a source of official updates, began sharing viral overseas content, including explicit material and numerous images of individuals in bikinis.
This incident echoes a similar situation from last year, when Thailand’s National Office of Buddhism (NOB) had its Facebook page hijacked. Hackers posted explicit content to the page, which had 80,000 followers, and it remained visible for hours before officials managed to remove it.
In both instances, social media users flocked to the comment sections, reacting with a mixture of shock and humor. Some even speculated that the administrators had mistakenly posted personal content.
In response, officials from Bangkok Noi have moved quickly to address the breach, asserting that they were not responsible for the inappropriate posts. Efforts are underway to restore the page’s security and ensure that future intrusions are prevented.
As the situation unfolds, authorities remain vigilant in their efforts to secure the integrity of their social media channels, aiming to restore professionalism and prevent further incidents.
