Cybersecurity and cybercrime in Thailand - statistics & facts
Thais are among the top ten internet users in the world in terms of average daily time spent online, with more than eight hours spent on the internet every day. Hence, the country has a substantial e-commerce market, making it a popular target for phishers who send harmful links via applications, SMS, and fake websites to deceive users into disclosing personal information to steal their money. The number of lawsuits involving online purchases of products or services that were never delivered, loan shark applications, Ponzi schemes, and investment fraud is also increasing. In addition to cybercrimes against private households, cyberattacks on institutions and businesses are a significant issue in Thailand.
