Thai-Cambodian cyber warriors battle on despite truce
The conflict has kicked off a disinformation blitz as Thai and Cambodian partisans alike sought to boost the narrative that the other was to blame. - AFP BANGKOK: Thailand and Cambodia may have reached a ceasefire to halt their bloody border clashes, but cyber warriors are still battling online, daubing official websites with obscenities, deluging opponents with spam and taking pages down. The five-day conflict left more than 40 people dead and drove more than 300,000 from their homes. It also kicked off a disinformation blitz as Thai and Cambodian partisans alike sought to boost the narrative that the other was to blame. Thai officials recorded more than 500 million instances of online attacks in recent days, government spokesperson Jirayu Huangsab said on Wednesday (July 29). These included spamming reports to online platforms and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks -- halting access to a website by overloading its servers with traffic. "It's a psychological war," Cambodian government spokesman Pen Bona told AFP. "There's a lot of fake news and it wouldn't be strange if it came from social media users, but even official Thai media outlets themselves publish a lot of fake news." Freshly created "avatar" accounts have targeted popular users or media accounts in Thailand. On July 24, a Facebook post by suspended Thai prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra condemning Cambodia's use of force was bombarded with 16,000 comments, many of them repeating the same message in English: "Queen of drama in Thailand". Another, similar post by Paetongtarn on July 26 was hit with 31,800 comments, many reading: "Best drama queen of 2025", with snake and crocodile emojis. Government spokesman Jirayu said the attacks were aimed at "sowing division among Thais" as well as outright deception. Similarly, Cambodian government Spokesman Pen Bona said fake news from Thailand aimed to divide Cambodia. Apparent bot accounts have also published and shared disinformation, adding to the confusion. Videos and images from a deadly Cambodian rocket attack on a petrol station in Thailand were shared with captions saying they showed an attack on Cambodian soil. Other posts, including one shared by the verified page of Cambodian Secretary of State Vengsrun Kuoch, claimed Thai forces had used chemical weapons. The photo in the post in fact shows an aircraft dropping fire retardants during the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025. AFP contacted Vengsrun Kuoch for comment but did not receive a reply. Hackers from both sides have broken into state-run websites to deface pages with mocking or offensive messages. One of the targets was NBT World, an English-language news site run by the Thai government's public relations department. Headlines and captions on articles about acting prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai were replaced with obscenities. Thai hackers meanwhile, changed the login page of Sachak Asia Development Institute, a Cambodian education facility, to show an image of influential ex-leader Hun Sen edited to have a ludicrously exaggerated hairstyle. The image was a reference to a video -- much mocked in Thailand -- of Cambodian youths sporting the same hairstyle visiting one of the ancient temples that were the focus of the fighting. Online attacks -- whether disinformation messaging or full-blown cyber strikes to disrupt an adversary's infrastructure or services -- are a standard feature of modern warfare. In the Ukraine conflict, Kyiv and its allies have long accused Russia of state-backed cyberwarfare, disrupting government and private IT systems around the world. And earlier this week, Ukrainian and Belarusian hacker groups claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Russia's national airline that grounded dozens of flights. Jessada Salathong, a mass communications professor at Thailand's Chulalongkorn University, said the border clashes had invoked the full spectrum of information disorder, carried out by both sides. "In an era when anyone can call themselves media, information warfare simply pulls in everyone," he said. - AFP

Finnish high schools go global: English classes coming in 2026
HELSINKI, Aug 1 — Finland will from next year offer the option to complete upper secondary education in English, after a law designed to attract skilled labour from abroad came into force Friday. By offering education in English, the Nordic country hopes foreign skilled workers with school-aged children will be more inclined to re-locate. The changes to the law on upper secondary education and the end-of-school exams were passed in December 2024. English-language upper secondary education will be offered from August 2026, once the education ministry has approved curriculums submitted by education providers. It will then be possible to sit the final-year matriculation exams in English from the autumn of 2028 onwards. Currently, students can only sit the exams in the country's two official languages, Finnish and Swedish. The new English version will mainly be for those lacking sufficient skills in the official languages. Some Finnish schools already offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, an international curriculum where students focus on six subjects. But the new English version of the matriculation examination will offer the full range of upper secondary school subjects. — AFP

UK ninja sword ban begins as 1,000 weapons surrendered in knife crime crackdown
LONDON: At least 1,000 weapons have been surrendered under a British government amnesty launched last month to combat knife crime, the Interior Ministry announced today, as a new ban on ninja swords came into effect. Overall, knife crime in England and Wales has risen 87 per cent over the past decade, with 54,587 offences recorded last year alone, a two per cent rise from 2023 and among the highest rates in Europe. On July 29, 2024, a teenager attacked a Taylor Swift-themed children's dance event in the northern English town of Southport, killing three girls and stabbing 10 people in one of Britain's most harrowing knife assaults. Since then, the government has pledged tougher age checks for knife buyers, warned social media firms they could face fines for failing to curb sales and promotion of weapons, and banned zombie-style knives, machetes and ninja swords. Over the month of July this year, the government urged young people to drop off weapons, including bladed ones, at "amnesty" bins or a mobile van -- part of efforts to control knife crime, particularly when it involves youths. The government said at least 1,000 weapons have been handed in. A mobile van will be deployed at the Notting Hill Carnival in London later this month in response to past knife-related violence by a small number of attendees. It is unclear whether the "amnesty" bins will stay in place once the month-long campaign comes to an end. Charities and experts call the government's efforts a step forward but say they fail to address the root causes. The Interior Ministry said that knife-related robberies have fallen in seven highest-risk areas, dropping from 14 per cent of all robberies in the seven highest-risk areas in the year ending June 2024 to six per cent in the same period to June 2025. The ban on buying and selling ninja swords is part of the government's pledge to introduce Ronan's Law, named in honour of 16-year-old Ronan Kanda, who was fatally stabbed with a ninja sword in 2022. Campaigner Martin Cosser, whose son was killed in a knife attack two years ago, previously told Reuters that the issue was not just about the weapon itself, but about the "emotional drivers" that lead people to carry knives in the first place. — REUTERS
