The government is set to implement a multi-factor authentication (MFA) login method for all government services, an approach that will be tabled for cabinet approval today in order to combat a massive data leak that has compromised over 200 million login credentials nationwide, including vulnerabilities in 30,000 state systems.
According to Digital Economy and Society (DES) Minister Chaichanok Chidchob, the centrepiece of the proposal is the mandatory adoption of MFA for all government services.
