Bangkok (VNA) – The Thai Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry has introduced a sandbox to test its "DE fence" anti-scam and spam platform in a fresh effort to suppress call centre gangs.
According to Wetang Phuangsup, Secretary-General of National Digital Economy and Society Commission (ONDE), one highlight of the DE fence platform is that it is connected to the databases of telecom operators to obtain the most up-to-date number information.
It is also connected to the databases of the Royal Thai Police, the Anti-Money Laundering Office, the AOC 1441 Center, and the DES Ministry.
These connections enable it to allow the receiver of a call to identify the caller's information, identify whether or not they are scammers, or what the level of risk is in terms of the caller's phone number.
It also allows people to check irregularities in links attached to an SMS message before opening the message.
In addition, the platform provides an online reporting system and a system to request the seizure of a criminal's bank account via the AOC 1441 hotline service, so the police will be able to take action immediately.
"The difference between DE fence and other anti-scam and spam applications is DE fence has a more comprehensive exchange of all databases locally through collaboration among all related laws to help handle scams efficiently," Wetang noted, as cited by Bangkok Post.
More importantly, DE fence can alert users whether an incoming call is made through the internet protocol network or a SIM card box. This will make it easy for them to decide whether or not to reject the call.
The cost of developing the DE fence platform, financed from ONDE's budget, stands at roughly 40 million THB (1.1 million USD). DE fence will be available via a free download once the trial period is successfully completed.
