Morning folks - I recently signed up to the Equifax Protect service using the token I received from QF, and found it interesting that under the Identity Watch area, the dark web monitoring found the activity related to Qantas from October, but it is not the full suite of data that QF told me they had lost control of.

QF said everything was lost to the hackers, but Equifax only found Name, Address / Location, Phone Number and an Avatar (?) in the dark web data. Checking through all the historic events across my e-mail addresses (including a leak at TAP Portugal, and Adobe), and there is nothing worse than this as well. No DOBs found, for example.

Have others who are looking at this found the same? Or are you seeing a closer match of elements to the Qantas leak on Equifax Protect?

Cheers,
Matt.
