QANTAS Cyber Incident

[TheInsider]

Interesting how the hackers claim that they were able to access more data than Qantas is aware of. Could explain how my old Qantas Money card was used recently.

Find that difficult to believe. Qantas money credit cards are NAB (were citibank) and the debit card is heritage bank.
Highly likely you just have been phished though or it's random.

Sounds like the hackers had to do a few HUACAs?.
Maybe they are getting the usual runaround by the CapeTown or the various Mind Pearl call centres or are yet to make it to the Hobart crew

What! they didn't put the hackers on hold.

Your call is important to us....

Well the news just keeps getting better and better. The Security firm we just hired to redo all our security arrangements for our multi building apartment complex has succumbed to a phishing attack and advised us to watch out for emails that look to be from them and never click in any links in emails.

I hope you replied to them with something appropriate like "Amateurs!"

Already got one email spoofing one of their staff’’s email addresses with dodgy links. Didn’t take but hours. Arrived before the advise they were hacked.

Do you need a new bingo card?

The CCP already has all their details, what are they worried about

If you have a Temu or TicToc account the CCP has yours as well

Saves having to backup your own data

QPay >>> (((debit card is heritage bank))).

Nope, not anymore, they got taken over by a (dis)famous EML payments.
A new PDF is coming out soon.

Hope there is also a class action here.......

Banking, employment data stolen from Clive Palmer's companies

When Clive Palmer's political parties were attacked by cybercriminals, it also affected his coal, nickel, and resort endeavours.

They got the maximum info from me last month.
Just had an attempted hack from an unrelated site, for which I used the same password. Saved by two factor.
Upgraded to passkey as a result.

p.s. will only accept admonishment from members who have never, EVER, in their lives, used the same password or PIN more than once - anywhere.

Not defending QF but as far as we know PINs (not passwords) were accessed?

As far as has been reported, no type of password/pin was accessed. The info gained from the QF hack does not allow accessing QF accounts, nor any other account that person may have using only the info that they could have gotten from this incident (unless someone was using their date of birth as a password somewhere).

It is possible that some piece of data gained from the QF leak, when matched up and added to data someone may have about a given person from other leaks, could be enough to reasonably attempt access to another account.

I am sure that they would be data matching, Qantas, Optus and Medibank.
Medibank (I think/read) that they had a bonus points agreement, now no longer in op.
Wouldnt put it past someone somewhere, doing data matching.
And if cunning enough, would do data matching with Latitude Finance too, and from what I see, Latitude also had a bonus points agreement with Qantas.
So, in the wider bigger picture, they are linking data/info.

My mistake, no password but everything else. Maybe Qantas not to blame this time

Hmmm. Name, birthday, address … its enough for most banks I’m betting.
