Apichart JinakulThe People’s Party has apologised for a data breach after it collected members’ laser ID codes, exposing them to identity theft and scam risks from misuse of personal data. According to the post, an initial examination found that the breach affected data used for membership applications. Last month the party insisted that the personal data including laser ID numbers of its members that it collected were secure. “The party sincerely apologises for what has happened and acknowledges the concerns of all members,” the statement said. “We recognise that protecting members’ personal data is critically important, and the trust of our members is our highest priority.”
