QANTAS Cyber Incident

[RooFlyer]

VH ruled out compo last week.

I’m shocked. shocked I tell you! That may go down as the most redundant announcement she’ll ever make.

It wasn't an announcement. She was asked.

As far as I can tell, no Australian company has ever proactively offered compensation after a data breach. So no, it's not a surprise. I never expected it.

My free Equifax from the last hack runs out soon - I need someone to pay for another year

Try Telstra, they are due soon.

Due what?

They only offer a basic 'Device Security Essentials' VPN-ish thing via their app - Welcome an extra layer of protection to your mobile - Telstra

Device Security Essentials, powered by McAfee, includes three free security features that can be activated through the My Telstra app. They work together to help protect your device, data and personal info from the latest malware and cyber threats.

This does nothing to actually monitoring your credit file for any enquiries.

Due what?

Presumably due a mass data breach.

Mind you, that would be peak irony given the advertising campaign they've recently launched starring Steve Buscemi

Can also vouch for Truyu (Truyu - a side project from CommBank Truyu - CommBank), it currently sends notifications when your documents are used for a DVS check (eg, signing up for a phone service - including prepaid, or verifying your identity with a bank) especially for things that aren't necessarily 'credit' - eg I've had alerts about my ID being used at Australia Post, National Australia Bank, AMP Bank, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone over the past year (where I've used my driver licence or Medicare card), without applying for credit so none of them appear on my Equifax, Illion or Experian credit files.

But it won't capture everything;


I got an e-mail from Truyu today about an update to their T&Cs (Terms and Conditions - Truyu) - they're adding support for Experian alerts too. (no Equifax love, sadly)



3 month free trial, then $4.99/month, paid in the app (so you can make use of all of those discounted / bonus points on Apple Gift Cards), month to month, cancel as you need.

(not a paid ad, just not many people have heard of Truyu before)

Looks like Truyu has added that Experian credit file monitoring in the last week - had to reverify my identity - it is funny getting a notification from Truyu about Truyu doing a DVS check! - but now we'll see if I get notified about any credit enquiries.

That probably explains why it dropped out of Wisr (without any warning or notice AFAIK).

Well the sound effects on that advert show Telstra is only intercepting fraud attempts made via dial up modem!

Opened Wisr the other day and was surprised at it disappearing. Not where I thought I would find out 'why', but it's much appreciated
