cyber-scam slave camps
Thai and Cambodian tensions relating to issues including cybersecurity concerns boiled over into a kinetic skirmish at the border last week.
The conflict started largely as an extension of a decades-old dispute over access to an ancient Hindu temple located a couple of hundred meters on the Cambodian side of the border.
Tensions at the temple were already high. In May, Thai and Cambodian troops exchanged fire across the border near the site. One Cambodian soldier died as a result.
Thailand's retaliation included a threat to cut off electricity and internet services to Cambodia, ostensibly to make life hard for the cyber-slave camps in the country – some of which are not far from the temple.
