Logging System According to the Computer Crime Act: A Crucial Matter Businesses Cannot Overlook
Wi-Fi services in dormitories, apartments, or hotels are subject to requirements under the Computer Crime Act, which mandates that business operators store computer traffic data (log files) of all users for at least 90 days. This data must be able to identify users (e.g., name or national identification number) along with technical information such as IP address, MAC address, and date and time of access.
Standardized log storage not only helps avoid fines of up to 500,000 baht but also serves as a legal “shield” for business owners. If a crime occurs through the network, the system can accurately identify the real perpetrator, helping business owners avoid legal risks and maintain business credibility in the long term.
