QANTAS Cyber Incident

Today's update ( https://www.qantas.com/au/en/support/information-for-customers-on-cyber-incident.html )

A potential cyber criminal has made contact, and we are currently working to validate this. As this is a criminal matter, we have engaged the Australian Federal Police and won’t be commenting any further on the details of the contact.

So the only material difference I can see is that the cyber criminal has made contact with Qantas. Have to say almost finished the Chairmans Club book and it gives me no confidence that the customer will be put first in this situation - rather VH, the Board and the shareholders

I'm not going to be at all surprised if the "potential cyber criminal" is just some idiot who's decided to make a nuisance of themself. Of course, Qantas needs to take it seriously until they / the Fed Police can verify it as a false alarm.

Is anyone else getting sick of the term "cyber"? It's just normal white collar crime these days, it *all* involves computers and the internet. The word cyber is only used to make it seem like it's something unusual and "way out" that they couldn't possibly have prevented. Pure deflection.

The one on the right looks like a cyber criminal to me.

For better or worse 'cyber security' is pretty much the industry standard term for it.

Well, 100% of the household is now affected

My wife and young son both seem to have avoided inclusion to this point… both are active accounts in the program (WP & SG), but neither interact with QF themselves
