QANTAS Cyber Incident

Not that we’re aware of (ie not posted here).
I thought that if we scroll through the 75 pages you would find that one, see Post 1094.

There were definitively screenshots of it as well on the Facebook QF Platinum Frequent Flyer page (a couple actually - made me very nervous!).
 
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.

Yes, that's exactly the issue with the Qantas data breach. None of this 'your points are safe' carp.

I think that post was in jest as far as I could tell.

No, see also Post #1130.

AFAIK, no AFF member has reported having their PP# hacked. One 3rd hand report at that other quoted post.

Many of us have had the full Bingo card (as published by QF) or less. Not more (so far).
 
so the second email was additional to the first list, maybe overlapping and not instead of?
That’s my understanding.

My personal account had most data fields leaked. Another email relating to QBR had a subset (but unfortunately associated with another email address).

I could well have other records linked to an old work email address (that I no longer have access to), and blissfully unaware…

When I log into my personal account the list of fields accessed matches the email. It would be interesting to know if someone’s online list is different to the aggregate of info provided on one or more emails.
 
Worth logging in to check for kids under 15. Found my daughter has been breached despite not having received any emails about her at all. All Qantas comms state they will notify age 15+, nothing about those under.
