Qantas Data Breach...? 1/5/2024

A few reports this morning from people saying that they see can see random people's flight details when logging on to QFF…

Seems like people are being logged into random accounts with the ability to book and cancel flights on other customer's accounts.

What in the world could have caused this?
How much will QAN drop on the ASX today?

    The user can see where the other customer is travelling to, as well as seemingly change their seats, cancel their flight or even book a flight under their name.

    Ooft. That's an issue! More than just a data breach too!

      I'm sure they'll spin it like it was some sophisticated attack/error that nobody could have anticipated.

        And some junior who pushed the button will get sacked rather than the supervisor who should be making sure they're doing their job and know what they are doing, nor the manager telling them to do it and ignoring their protests…

  • On Wednesday we experienced an issue with the homepage of the Qantas App. We want to apologise to all our impacted customers and assure you that the App is stable and operating normally. We have now identified the root cause and can confirm that this was a technology issue, and there is no evidence of a cyber incident.

    Qantas takes the security and privacy of our customers' data seriously and we want you to know that we have done everything we can to fully understand what went wrong so we can prevent it happening again.

    If you have upcoming travel, there is nothing you need to do. You can check your flight details at anytime on the Qantas App or website as usual. We will contact you directly if we determine that your sensitive travel information has been incorrectly displayed to another person.

    Please accept our sincere apologies.
