Thai security services are doxxing pro-democracy activists on Facebook and X, urging their followers to harass them in a campaign of intimidation, cybersecurity researchers said.

The country’s security services control an X account that has posted photos of more than 100 protesters, researchers at the watchdog group Citizen Lab said in a report published on April 16. The account, purported to be run by a middle-aged businesswoman known as Juk Khlong Sam, is still active and has gained more than 110,000 followers, often urging action against those pictured. Several active Facebook accounts with a combined 130,000 followers used the same playbook, researchers said.
