On 9 July 2026, officers from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Wiwat Khamchamnan, Deputy Commissioner of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, together with commanders and officers from several agencies, including CCIB Division 3, the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), and the Thailand Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (TICAC), executed a search warrant issued by the Sakon Nakhon Provincial Court. The officers searched a residence in Sakon Nakhon Province and arrested a suspect under an arrest warrant in connection with offences involving the importation of obscene computer data and the dissemination or forwarding of such data. The case remains under investigation and is proceeding through the legal process.

During the search, officers seized several items related to photography and data storage, including cameras, memory cards, a laptop computer, USB flash drives, and mobile phones, for further examination as evidence. Police said the investigation is being expanded to determine whether there are additional victims or other individuals involved. Authorities are also examining financial transactions and any conduct that may be linked to other criminal offences. If further evidence is found, legal action will be taken in accordance with the law.

The case began when several victims sought assistance after being threatened that their private photos or videos would be made public, or after discovering that their photos had been shared without their consent. Some victims also found that their images had been used in advertisements for online gambling websites. As a result, many suffered serious harm to their reputation, education, employment, and mental well-being, leaving them afraid to live their lives as normal.

In this case, Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri of Wongsakorn Law Firm has begun assisting the victims since the early stage of the legal proceedings. He provided legal advice, helped plan the collection of evidence, and coordinated with the relevant authorities to ensure that the case was handled as thoroughly as possible. Lawyer Arm revealed that the case initially began when several university students from northern Thailand sought legal assistance after being threatened with the release of their intimate photos and private videos. As the facts were investigated, the matter gradually developed into a more complex case.

Drawing on his experience in assisting victims, Lawyer Arm said that crimes of this nature no longer end with the release of intimate photos or videos. In many cases, such content is later used for blackmail or commercial gain, such as promoting illegal websites or extorting money from victims. Many victims are reluctant to report these crimes because they fear being judged or stigmatized by society. In reality, however, victims are entitled to legal protection under the law.

Wongsakorn Law Firm has also found that more victims facing similar situations continue to seek legal advice. Many have been threatened by former partners, while others have had their private photos shared in online groups or used to extort money or generate profits for offenders. Lawyer Arm offered this advice: even when two people are in a loving relationship, taking private photos or videos may be done with mutual consent. However, once those files exist in digital form, they always carry the risk of being misused if the relationship comes to an end.

Another important misconception is that once a private photo or video has been leaked, the best solution is to stay silent and hope the issue fades away. In reality, such content may continue to spread across other platforms, be used for unlawful gain, or become connected to other criminal activities. Victims should not ignore the situation. Instead, they should preserve all available evidence and seek legal advice from a qualified professional as soon as possible to prevent further harm.

Wongsakorn Law Firm, led by Lawyer Arm Supasit Siri, reaffirms its commitment to assisting victims of all forms of online crime, including threats involving intimate images, being blackmailed, the unauthorized use of personal images, and other violations of online rights. Anyone who believes they have become a victim should not face the situation alone. They are encouraged to consult a lawyer as early as possible to develop an appropriate legal strategy and carefully plan each step of the legal process. A well-prepared legal strategy is the key to protecting victims’ rights and bringing offenders to justice.

Cybercrime: A Digital Age Threat and the Crucial Role of Lawyers in Litigation

In today’s world, where technology and the internet play a central role in daily life, cybercrime has become a silent threat causing damages to individuals, organizations, and society at large. One of the most vital tools in investigating and proving cases of this nature is Computer Traffic Data, which serves as crucial evidence in both investigations and litigation.

What is Computer Traffic Data?

Computer traffic data refers to information that identifies the source, communication path, date and time, usage volume, and nature of computer communications excluding the actual content. Examples include:

  • IP addresses used for connection
  • Date and time of emails or messages sent
  • Website access routes
  • Network access logs

Although such data may appear minor, it can directly link perpetrators to crimes such as hacking, data forgery, or online fraud.

Online Threats of Concern

Cybercrime today has become increasingly complex and widespread, taking various forms such as:

1. Online Scams / Phishing – Fake emails or messages impersonating banks, logistics companies, or platforms to trick victims into disclosing personal data or transferring money.

2. Identity Theft – Criminals misuse national ID numbers, bank account details, or credit card information to commit fraud.

3. Hacking & Cyber Attacks – System breaches, malware installations, or DDoS attacks causing severe harm to businesses and infrastructure.

4. Defamation and Online Rights Violations – Fake accounts, defamatory posts, or unauthorized sharing of personal data.

5. Online Investment Fraud – Ponzi schemes, fake digital assets, or fraudulent investment platforms.

These threats cause financial loss, emotional distress, and reputational harm. Without proper legal action, cybercriminals will only grow bolder.

Why Are Lawyers Essential in Cybercrime Cases?

Victims often attempt to report cybercrimes or collect evidence on their own. However, cybercrime litigation is highly complex, involving specialized laws and digital evidence that must be handled correctly. Mishandling evidence can render it inadmissible in court.

Lawyers play a vital role by:

  • Providing legal consultation and strategy
  • Collecting and preserving digital evidence in compliance with procedures
  • Representing victims in court to claim damages
  • Negotiating settlements to secure faster remedies

Having a lawyer significantly increases the chances of uncovering the truth and obtaining justice.

The Expertise of Pol. Col. Santipat Prommajul – Advisor to Wongsakorn Law Office

One of Thailand’s foremost cybercrime experts is Pol. Col. Santipat Prommajul, former Commander of the Technology Crime Suppression Division.

Currently, he serves as Advisor to Wongsakorn Law Office, offering in-depth guidance on handling cybercrime litigation and overseeing the seizure and analysis of digital evidence, which is central to casework.

In his public lecture on “Electronic Evidence and Digital Forensics” (Faculty of Law, Thammasat University, October 25, 2015), Pol. Col. Santipat outlined international-standard practices in digital evidence seizure and preservation.

General Guidelines for Seizing Digital Evidence

The process must be meticulous to ensure data reliability, including:

1.Securing the Scene – Preventing unauthorized access or data tampering.

2.Evidence Security – Isolating areas with digital devices or storage media.

3.Seizure of Devices – Computers, mobile phones, hard drives, or flash drives.

4.Systematic Documentation & Storage – Recording details, mapping, labeling, and packaging for transport.

5.Forensic Examination – Conducting digital analysis in certified labs.

Cybercrime Can Be Tackled – But Only Professionally

Cybercrime is a danger that anyone may face, from online fraud to data theft or reputational attacks. Addressing such crimes requires specialized knowledge of digital evidence.

With a professional legal team particularly lawyers working alongside experts like Pol. Col. Santipat Prommajul victims can be assured their cases are handled lawfully and effectively, maximizing their chances of obtaining justice and rightful compensation.
