(Photo by Patipat Janthong)Mobile phone giant Advanced Info Service Plc (AIS) fired an employee on Tuesday for selling a client's phone records, including the user's locations and incoming and outgoing calls, while the national telecom regulator thinks its management deserves punishment as well. AIS senior vice-president Wilai Kiangpradoo confirmed the dismissal, saying the data leakage violated the company's important policy on clients' privacy and safety. She also claimed the employee had done so for kickbacks for at least 2-3 years and that she was not the only victim.
