The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) announced on Wednesday that the Electronic Transactions Development Agency had alerted the agency that NACC data was released on the website https://raidforums.com/Thread-Thailand-Big-Data-Corruption-Leak-Query-System-DOX, which has now been seized by the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service and the Justice Department.

“A preliminary investigation revealed that the released information included two sets of data published on the NACC’s website since 2019,” said the announcement.

“The first set is a list of debts and assets of 780 accounts, which has also been released on two other URLs, namely http://178.128.223.11:3000/nacc and https://datathon.corrupt0.org/nacc.

“The second set comprises 1,366 file cases that the NACC ruled as having merit. This data has also been released on two other URLs, namely http://178.128.223.11:3000/nacc-case and https://datathon.corrupt0.org/nacc-case,” said the anti-graft agency.

“The data published on those URLs could have been edited by anyone with a Google Account as the publishers have allowed public editing, and therefore might not be accurate compared to the true data available on NACC’s website,” said the announcement.

“The NACC would like to announce that the above URLs are not the official websites of the agency. Please go to www.nacc.go.th if you want to access information the agency has made available to the public,” it said.
