Police have accused Taweesap Lalitsasiwimon of hacking into the computer systems of AIS and True Corp., causing more than 100 million baht in damages. Advanced Info Service said last month that it suffered losses of 8 million baht after an unidentified hacker got into its computer system and manipulated airtime allowances granted to pre-paid cellphone users. Two years ago, True Corp said two years ago that it lost more than Bt105 million in a similar sting, leading police to believe that the two jobs were performed by the same culprit. Crime Suppression Division deputy commander Colonel Kowit Wongrungroj said Taweesap had dazzling computer skills and managed to hack into the telecom giant's network in less than 10 minutes. "At first, it seemed like he had hacked into the system via Internet cafes because he used various SIM cards and Internet connections by many service providers," Kowit said. "However, we used advanced technology and finally nailed him."
