The Petroleum Authority of Thailand on Friday denied news reports linking it to a 29-year-old man suspected of hacking into a PM's Office website and posting a defamatory message against PM Yingluck Shinawatra.
Puttachad Mukdaprakorn, PTT Plc Executive Vice President, Corporate Communications and Social Responsibility, said in a statement that some media had reported that Narongrit Suksarn, alias Talek, was discussing some projects with PTT.
“That statement is false. The company neither knows nor is involved in any project with Mr Narongrit. Our administration is based on good governance, transparency and accountability.
Meanwhile Narongrit, a software programmer from Nakhon Si Thammarat province met with police and denied he had defaced the PM’s Office website and left a derogatory message on Wednesday.
He said he is innocent and had been wrongly implicated probably by a hackers’ team with which he is in conflict.
