BANGKOK, Thailand – The Bank of Thailand (BOT) has reassured the public that the country’s banking systems remain secure and financial services are operating normally amid growing concerns over cyber threats targeting banking systems in several countries across Asia.
The central bank said there was no need for people to withdraw cash and keep large amounts of money at home, stressing that Thailand’s financial institutions continue to provide services as usual.
The reassurance follows reports of cyber threats and attempted attacks against banking systems in several countries across the region, raising public concerns about the safety of financial transactions and access to funds.
The BOT has instructed all commercial banks to strengthen their cybersecurity measures and maintain close surveillance to ensure the security and reliability of financial services. Banks have been told to monitor their systems around the clock, respond promptly to potential threats and continuously identify security vulnerabilities and areas of risk.
The central bank is also coordinating closely with financial institutions to monitor developments, exchange information and ensure that appropriate protective measures remain in place. The BOT emphasized that maintaining public confidence in the banking system remains a priority, while urging people to remain calm and continue using normal banking services. Authorities will continue monitoring the situation closely and working with financial institutions to protect the country’s financial infrastructure against evolving cyber threats.
