Hot Take:

Oh, Qantas. It seems your flight path has taken a turbulent turn into cybersecurity chaos! Looks like the hackers are after more than just in-flight peanuts and extra legroom. While Qantas is busy playing detective with the Australian Federal Police, customers are left wondering if their personal data is flying away to Hackerland. At least the Frequent Flyers’ miles are safe – because let’s face it, loyalty points are the real treasure here.

Key Points:

  • Qantas has been contacted by a potential cybercriminal regarding a massive data breach.
  • No ransom demands have been disclosed, and the Australian Federal Police are involved.
  • Data of up to six million customers may have been compromised from a third-party platform.
  • Personal contact and flight details were stolen, but no financial or passport info was affected.
  • Customers are warned to be cautious of phishing attempts, as Qantas won’t request sensitive info.
