Thai authorities target over USD37m in cybercrime-linked assets



Thai police are investigating over one billion baht (USD27m) in assets tied to alleged superhacker Wang Yunhe and his associates, stemming from cybercrime activities. The Central Investigation Bureau, collaborating with U.S. authorities, has seized assets worth 88 million baht, including cash, luxury watches, a car, and land deeds in Chon Buri province. This follows the FBI’s dismantling of the world’s largest botnet, an army of 19 million infected computers, last week. Wang, a Chinese citizen arrested in Singapore on May 24, was involved in deploying malware and operating the “911 S5” proxy service. Thai authorities, coordinating with Thailand’s Anti-Money Laundering Office, plan to seek court orders to seize further assets, including bank and cryptocurrency accounts, vehicles, and real estate.
