Anonymous website musters more unverifiable support for Prawit

With a simple layout and inactive links to social media platforms, the website contains general information on forests in Thailand alongside a petition to support the scandal-hit junta number-two, who also heads the Five Provinces Bordering Forest Preservation Foundation.
"General Prawit Wongsuwan loves, protects and takes care of forests. That's why we love General Prawit Wongsuwan," read a message written on the website.
"We would like to join and support General Prawit Wongsuwan to continue to stay in the government and serve the country.”
As of Wednesday night, the website showed that 76,710 people had signed a petition supporting Prawit, which included their given and family names, email address and opinions.
However, The Nation determined that many signatories appeared to have logged their names but not their emails.
Many of IP addresses associated with the signatories also started with "172.68.6", which appeared to belong to a single origin associated with a security company.
According to the website's domain details seen by The Nation, it was newly registered last Saturday via a service that protects the registrant’s confidentiality.
Last week, a petition attempting to support Prawit on Change.orgregistered 25,000 signatories before website administrators reduced that number to 250 after detecting manipulation based on bot programs and spam addresses.
