Qantas Competition Privacy Breach

[MrJetset]

I received the email informing me about the Les Mis premiere competition, and I went to enter it on my iPhone. Upon loading the page I saw all fields pre-populated with another FF's details. In fact, there is enough information here to essentially reset their password and access their account.




Needless to say I have not entered. What happened RedRoo?

Have you called QF or emailed them?

Thanks guys, we were aware of this one. As soon as we found out about the issue we took steps to fix it. Issue completely fixed now so feel free to still enter the competition.

Cheers.
Red Roo

Why would a DOB be required!! Surely just confirming you are over 18 would be enough...

Its the only legal way to do it according to the legal eagles, which is why the alcohol sites also require a birth date in most cases.

Red Roo I think your being a bit casual with your reply, the information shown would be very beneficial for anyone wishing to carry out identity fraud and I for one would be very upset if my details were given to anyone else (and they may have for all I know!)
