Asst. Prof. Dr. Noppadon Kannika, founder of the Super Poll Research Center and an alumnus of Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., USA, in cyber security. Speaking as a representative of the public sector in the committee of experts on the National Police Policy (National Police Commission), revealing the results of the study on “Danger is at hand” is an analysis of data from surveys and other sources. Regarding cyber security, it was found that the majority of citizens, or 76.0 percent, had been deceived online by using social media. And even more than half of cyber security government officials, or 51.2 percent, have been victims of various forms of online scammers, such as bait links. Unable to access online services Having money sucked out of your account and other dangerous problems is: “Danger lies in the hands” of every citizen. The government will distribute 10,000 baht of digital currency to more than 50 million people nationwide. Totaling over 500 billion baht, it has become an extremely valuable resource oil field. To tempt the “cyber thieves” movement to invest in attacking the government’s cyber security system. And the easiest to attack is Citizen’s mobile phone Therefore it becomes a danger in your hands. The government and national security agencies cannot continue to be complacent. Because cyberattacks on people’s mobile phones are a big problem around the world right now.
What is worth considering is the communication with the public by Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. Announcement to the whole country about the distribution of 10,000 baht of digital money through an application to the mobile phones of the majority of people throughout the country. To stimulate the community economy at the district level in every district and the overall economic development of the country. The government needs to urgently increase awareness of cyber security as a top priority. Before the day when the button was pressed to give money to people via mobile phone.

The cyber thieves are ready to invest in technology to attack and take money worth hundreds of billions of baht from the government’s digital money distribution policy. Because cyber thieves had already attacked high cyber security systems and blockchain systems about 2 years ago, that cyber thieves’ movement caused only tens of billions of baht in damages. But for Thailand, the value is five hundred billion baht. Therefore, it is definitely a temptation for cyber thieves to invest in some form of attack.
What is worth considering is The fact that Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Announced to develop “Paotang” to use blockchain technology that creates high safety Transparency according to good governance principles Prevent corruption And the use of high security technology to develop the country in other dimensions can be considered that Mr. Settha Thavisin will be the first Prime Minister of Thailand and the first person in the world who dares to use high security technology to make the country white. clean Reduce corruption problems and the suffering of the people with sustainable results.

Because from the latest Super Poll survey it was found that government officials on cyber security The majority, or more than 80 percent, still have knowledge and understanding related to cyber security standards ISO 27000 and ISO 31000 related to cyber security. Both in terms of information security and risk management It is only at a low to moderate level, so it should be accelerated to improve and raise the quality standards of cyber security personnel. The government has used some of the 100 billion baht to invest in overhauling knowledge and abilities.
