X-rated: Bangkok cops blush as Facebook hacked with porn
Bangkok police station cops faced an embarrassing predicament this morning after discovering their official Facebook page had been hacked with explicit pornographic content.
According to the Daily News, the Facebook page belonging to the Bangkok Noi Metropolitan Police Station, a government agency, was shockingly displaying a slew of around 18 pornographic images and videos.
An investigation revealed that this puzzling turn of events was the result of cyber mischief. The page, which boasts over 2,000 followers, had been posting viral video clips from abroad, including explicit content and a stream of bikini-clad images.
This scandal bears a striking resemblance to a recent incident involving the Buddhism Office page, which also fell victim to hackers who posted obscene content.
Officials promptly addressed the breach, clarifying that they were not responsible for the lewd material and are currently working to restore the page’s integrity.
With red faces all around, the police are now on high alert, determined to regain control and ensure their social media platforms remain free from further risqué antics.
The National Office of Buddhism (NOB) in Thailand last year lodged a complaint with police after its official Facebook page was hacked and inundated with pornographic images and videos.
More than 80,000 Buddhist followers were left stunned as a series of explicit posts appeared on the NOB’s page. The first was shared early on March 6, with the most recent one visible until around 2pm, before all inappropriate content was removed.
Thai netizens flocked to the comments section of each explicit post, expressing their shock. Some, however, took a more humorous approach, playfully suggesting that the administrators had simply forgotten to switch accounts before posting their favourite content.
With no immediate means of regaining control of the page, the NOB turned to the Buddhist and Society News (BSN) Facebook page to issue a clarification on the incident.
