QANTAS Cyber Incident

[Dvg]

Just to let everyone know, I emailed the Qantas privacy officer ([email protected]) to demand a code for the credit monitoring service now that there is confirmation that the data is on dark web. I got a reply same day with a free code for 12 months credit monitoring through Equifax. Very happy. I wondered if it was just because of my silver lifetime/QC status but we just heard back after emailing for partner's Bronze account - took a couple of days but he also got a code.

Give it a try! I feel much better having this service in place and not having to pay.

Thanks for this. I emailed 17/10 and received a response with appropriate code on 28/10.

Last night I received a bunch of alerts from an account with a service provider which has the same email address and password as my QBR account had when the hack took place (stupidly I had forgotten to change the password to that account). The alerts were letting me know that my account had been suddenly accessed about a minute ago from various ISP's in Brazil, the U.S., the U.K etc.

So don't be surprised if the info on the dark web is now being used...
