Thailand’s junta is mulling a new cyber law that would grant authorities the power to access any private sector computer system, a tool they say is needed to defend against hackers. The bill was proposed after the massive “WannaCry” cyberattack sparked havoc in computer systems worldwide, but it is controversial because Thailand has previously adopted cyber laws that have been used as a cudgel against government critics. The new law proposes setting up a National Cyber Security Committee which would be chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha.
