Thai Database Leaks 8.3B Internet Records

AIS is mobile operator hence assign you random IP from the pool every time you reconnect to the network. IP address could be used by many different users during a day, definitely not a household as author states. Looks like useless data for me.

They also have residential internet (AIS Fibre) and also own another ISP (CS Loxinfo). CS Loxinfo used to use their own DNS servers and such, but have switched to use the same infrastructure as AIS Fibre (sharing IP address pool and all) since 2019 or so.

Also AIS mobile is IPv6 (2001:44c8:4400::/44) with CG-NAT since 2017. IIRC they were giving out /64 to every mobile client, but I'm not sure how long does /64 assignment lasts.

Sessions on mobile networks can last for many days and even weeks. The data is far from useless and could be used to enhance or append to other data sources.

also they probably, like every ISP nowadays know when what IP to who was assigned so dynamic IP is not guarantee for anonymity
