Employee dismissed from Studio 7 for unauthorized data theft of customers
A shocking data breach at Studio 7's Central Phuket branch has led to the arrest of a former employee. According to reports by Rose To Universe and Wichit police, the suspect is accused of importing obscene data into a computer system accessible to the public.
The alleged data theft involved the leak of personal photos and data of a female customer who recently purchased a phone at the store. The stolen data was circulated without her consent, sparking widespread outrage online.
The suspect, who has a prior record of 13 drug-related arrests, reportedly confessed to the theft. Studio 7 has since fired the employee and filed a police complaint against them.
In a statement, Studio 7 issued a public apology for the data breach and expressed their commitment to protecting customer data. They also mentioned that they are cooperating fully with the authorities to ensure a swift resolution to the matter.
The arrest of the suspect has been met with relief by the victims, who are now considering legal action. However, there are suspicions that the suspect may be backed by a local influential figure, and some victims have alleged intimidation during the course of seeking justice.
As of the latest updates, the suspect has been arrested and charged, but there has been no public information about trial dates or further court actions. The police complaint and arrest suggest the case is under investigation or awaiting prosecution, but no final legal resolution has been reported yet.
It is also worth noting that the stolen photos were allegedly circulated in a Telegram group, raising concerns about the security of such platforms and the need for users to be vigilant about their personal data.
