QANTAS Cyber Incident

[RooFlyer]

Like I said, you’re obsessed with Qantas in thinking they are a special case

It is a special case - the data theft happened to Qantas, and many people' here had their personal information taken; we are discussing it; you, me and many others (maybe we are all obsessed?). Its not MGM Grand, or any of the other red herrings brought up; its the 'national flag carrier' and the hack affected millions of Australians. I reckon its worthy of a close look.

One might accuse me of being obsessed with QR, but never with Qantas - I leave that to others.

Your original statement was quite clearly saying QF would try to hide it.

No, it didn't say that. I suggest we give it a rest.

Qantas probably couldn't hide it entirely, but they could give it a red-hot go.

No, it didn't say that. Lets give it a rest, eh?

Taking the QF hack outside of the context of other hacks by the same perpetrators is not helpful. The context sheds light on precedence and how we can expect this to unfold.

At least have some credit and own up to your past statements.

“A red hot go” = try
Try what? = hide it

Obsessed with QF doesn’t mean you’re pro QF. Can be quite the opposite. It includes the habit of bringing up QF in just about every forum outside of the QF forum, which you excel at. Never miss the opportunity to sledge QF.

Please stop selective quoting me. The word I used was could. The word you imposed on it (and conveniently omitted above) was would. Completely different meaning.

If what I post irritates you so much, I suggest you simply block me.

Qantas could do any number of things, legal or illegal. the fact you mention it implies you think it merits discussion, and at least a remote chance that they would - otherwise, why bring it up? In the post before that one you even speculated that QF may have already paid the hackers. I sense you are backpedaling hard but anyway, other users can make up their own minds.
