The army has yet to find a way to contact a sergeant, a driver at its transport department, suspected of hacking the personal data of 55 million Thais, according to the deputy army spokeswoman.

Maj Gen Sirichan Ngathong said Sunday denied the army was procrastinating on a warrant for the arrest of the sergeant major. Army investigators had approached his supervisors and family but the suspect could not be contacted yet, she said.
