The Royal Thai Police have announced the arrest of a hacker who used information from people's Line accounts in order to steal more than one million baht. 

 

The adversary of the tech police had just a P6 (end of primary) education. 

 

Somporn, 26,was arrested along with smart phones, bank books and a gun at the Sapsiri estate in Muang district of Lopburi. 

 

Using ruses based on voting for relatives in singing competitions he compiled data and Line accounts that he would subsequently use to receive money. 

 

One victim, a restaurant owner called Suchira, described how she was fooled by the hacker who Naew Na said may have only got a basic education at school but put his heart and soul into learning all about IT. 

 

Now the tech police are examining whether he was in league with relatives who held the bank accounts.

What is a hacker? Someone who can guess and try passwords like 12345, a birthday or the name of the dog?

And maybe someone who knows how to fool people?

 

Technical computer hacking is a little more complicated. But with all those users who use very easy passwords and use the same passwords again and again technical knowledge is not necessary.

 

Most "hacks" wouldn't happen if users would be more careful.
