[AI generated] I’m sorry, but I wasn’t able to find any specific information regarding a company called “cimenyan.desa.id”. It seems to be a domain format typically used for Indonesian village websites, suggesting that Cimenyan could be the name of such a village. However, without further information, I’m unable to provide a detailed description. Please clarify or correct your request.

[Law] Hacker behind over 90 data breaches arrested in Thailand

Thai authorities have arrested a 39-year-old man believed to be responsible for at least 75 hacking incidents globally. Operating under various aliases such as ALTDOS, DESORDEN, GHOSTR, and 0mid16B, the individual has been one of the most active cybercriminals in the Asia-Pacific region since 2021. His primary targets were companies and businesses in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and other nations.

The man is alleged to have been behind over 90 instances of data breaches worldwide, with 65 occurring in the Asia-Pacific region. His criminal activity started under the alias ALTDOS, initially focusing on victims in Thailand. His attacks aimed to steal sensitive databases containing personal data, which he would then use for extortion, demanding payments from victims in exchange for not making the data public. If the victims refused to comply, instead of publishing the stolen data on Dark Web forums, he would notify media outlets or personal data protection authorities, causing greater reputational and financial harm.

The cybercriminal would also exert additional pressure by directly contacting victims' customers via email or instant messaging, urging them to comply. On some rare occasions, he was observed encrypting victims' databases. To carry out the attacks, the man used SQL injection tools like sqlmap and exploited vulnerable Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) servers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. Once inside, he would install a beacon of a cracked version of the CobaltStrike tool to control the compromised servers.

Thai authorities seized assets worth more than 10 million baht (approximately S$395,500), which included mobile phones, laptops, luxury vehicles, and branded bags. Investigations into the alleged hacker’s activities are still ongoing.
