What is cybercrime?
Cybercrime and other Computer/Technology Related Laws Cybercrime relate to crimes in which computers or other digital devices are either used to commit a crime or are the target of a crime. The motive of the crime can be to damage the reputation of the victim, unlawfully obtain the victim’s confidential information or to fraudulently acquire cash or other assets from the victim.
Technology generally develops quicker than the laws designed to control / police it which can prove a challenge for cybercrime victims, their lawyers and the authorities. The most relevant Thai legislation is the Computer Crime Act of B.E. 2550 (2006) though other criminal laws relating to theft, intellectual property and defamation may also provide protection.
