What Was Stolen in the Breach?
The good news about the breach is that extremely valuable personal information wasn’t stolen. Qantas specified that no credit card, passport, and financial details have been leaked.
On top of that, there’s a chance that none of the stolen data has even been released, which would be a welcomed surprise for its millions of frequent fliers. Still, that could change, according to Qantas.
“There is no evidence that any personal data stolen from Qantas has been released but, with the support of specialist cybersecurity experts, we continue to actively monitor.” – Qantas spokesperson
The bad news is that some valuable information was definitely stolen, including names, dates of birth, emails, and frequent flyer numbers, and it could still end up on hacker forums in the near future.
