In addition, a large number of TrueMove H and Dtac subscribers who have registered their SIMs through the NBTC’s 2-Snap application appear not to be registered.
The regulator has said it would review the registration information already submitted with compromised dealer usernames.
The NBTC has already paid $90,000 (3 million Baht) for the development of the 2-Snap registration application and these new security features will cost the regulator an additional $300,000 (10 million Baht).
TelecomAsia had reported back in August 2014 that the 2-Snap application had passwords to its servers in plain-text hard-coded into the software that was easily visible for anyone technically-inclined to see.
