Greater scrutiny of corporate accountsMr Ruangroj warns a threat could be coming from quantum computing. Pol Maj Gen Niwate Arpawasin, deputy commissioner of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), said the bureau is stepping up cooperation with banks and the Revenue Department to cross-check corporate bank accounts with tax databases in a sweep to tackle corporate mule accounts used by scammers to move millions of baht undetected. Corporate accounts do not require facial scans for high-value transfers, allowing scammers to move large sums of money quickly without biometric verification. Ruangroj Poonpol, group chairman of KBTG, said the threat from scammers using AI agents and deepfakes is rising. As companies adopt AI agents to handle tasks, they become new targets, he warned.
