PM Twitter hacker identified

PM Twitter hacker identified

Information and Communication Technology Minister Anudit Nakornthap has identified the person who hacked the twitter account of PM Yingluck Shinawatra.

The hacker is identified as Ekawit Thongdiworakul, a 20-year old student from a leading university. Mr. Anudit confirmed that the man was indeed the wrong doer, not a scapegoat. The ICT Minister said the hacker managed to break into the twitter account alone. However, the ICT Ministry plans to give the man a chance to redeem himself, by recruiting him in its anti-hacking team.

A person found having hacked into a computer system faces a fine of 100,000 THB or a maximum jail term of five years or both.
