Users have reported receiving fake emails warning that there is something wrong with their Thailand Pass application and urging them to download an attachment from a link in the email. The test has some telltale warning signs such as poor English and punctuation.

I received this email this morning. Fortunately realised it was fake before downloading anything. Worth pointing out that the email appears to have been sent from 'support@tp.consular.go.th' which is the Thaipass support email address.

I wonder what the response would be if a government website that contains all your personal information including your passport got hacked in your home country?

But this is Thailand. Nobody cares, just another day in the hub of hackable insecure systems.

Do you have anti virus software? I use Mcafee but others are available.

Run a scan on your machine and see what it detects then follow the instructions.

In the mean time do NOT buy anything using a credit or debit card from the internet in case it steals your card details.

Thanks so much for your help mate ! 

I ran the antivirus and they found a Trojan but that's about it. My assumption is the .vbs file that get installed when you click... and dumbass I .... clicked.... run several malwares.... RIP .... 

You are right I shall not buy anything using a credit or debit car for a certain time. Not on the PC I clicked on the email with yeah
