Amnesty International, a human rights nonprofit, is urging Thai authorities to investigate alleged state-sponsored cyberattacks following a leak of government documents. These documents detailed operations by a joint 'Cyber Team' targeting civil society organizations to discredit their work using phishing, social media manipulation, and disinformation. The attacks aimed to undermine Amnesty's credibility, particularly during Thailand's 2023 general election, among other high-value targets covering prominent activists and NGOs. The Thai government has denied these allegations, and despite the law meant to address cybercrimes, critics worry about its use for potential censorship and suppression of free speech.
