The 39-year-old was detained in Bangkok on Wednesday following a joint operation with Singaporean authorities, Thai police said on Thursday.
His arrest followed an extortion complaint from a Thai company which reported receiving threats via the X account “@0mid16b”, demanding payment in exchange for withholding stolen customer data.
Chia has confessed to hacking into company databases and selling stolen data, Thai police said.
During the raid, gold ornaments, luxury items and brand-name products worth around $300,000 were seized.
Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB, which assisted in the case, said he used multiple aliases, including Altdos, Desorden, GhostR and 0mid16B, and was linked to 13 terabytes of stolen data targeting healthcare, finance, retail, and government sectors.
