The computer and software security thread

[migrant]

Went to the tessabahn yesterday to start the yellow book process. The lady we spoke with gave us copies of what is needed including a picture of someones passport with nothing redacted . I'm sure the new personal protection rules that start tomorrow will stop this

That is exactly what happened to me when I started my 'Road to a Yellow Book thread years ago.

I've also mentioned the disposal of all of the paperwork at Immigration - just left outside for anybody to view/ take.

I think its because we are aliens they don't really give a shit about our personal data security. If it was a Thai's ID card, blue book, or bank details a bit more fuss would be made.

It didn't make any difference at customs in Bangkok when I was there. Scrap paper is scrap paper. Cost saving means reusing sheets with a blank side. When giving forms to banks, government, etc always make the back side unusable.

The poster was talking about the Tessabahn in Hua Hin and someone else's passport, not customs in Bangkok.

And I made a comment in a thread about security not restricted to HH immigration or the tessaban. The problem with personal details being passed around is quite common.
