The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau is seeking cooperation from the kingdom's international partners, including the United States, to investigate the hacking of a patient database at Phetchabun Hospital. The ministry later clarified that data was stolen from Phetchabun Hospital when its servers were breached. Meanwhile, the Bhumirajanakarindra Kidney Institute Hospital recently revealed that 40,000 of its patient records were stolen and its data system was damaged during a security breach, resulting in the hospital being unable to access its X-ray archive. The CCIB said its preliminary investigation showed that a group of Indian hackers was behind the security breach at Phetchabun Hospital, and it was using a server in Singapore. He said the initial findings suggest Phetchabun Hospital downloaded a free content management system (CMS) programme without setting a proper IP address, and that opened a way for hackers to enter.
