Qantas Says Flyers’ Data Targeted in ‘Significant’ Cyberattack
BloombergTuesday, July 1, 2025 at 11:54:48 PM
Qantas just dropped some bad news—hackers broke into one of their customer service systems and likely swiped a ton of passenger data. The airline called the breach "significant," though they haven’t spelled out exactly what info was taken or how many people are affected. If you’ve booked a flight recently, you might want to keep an eye on your inbox (and maybe change a password or two).
Editor’s Note: Data breaches are becoming a nasty routine for big companies, but this one hits close to home for anyone who’s flown Qantas. Personal details like passport numbers or payment info could be floating around in shady corners of the internet now. Beyond the immediate risk, it’s another reminder that even trusted brands aren’t bulletproof when it comes to cybercrime. Expect a flood of "we’re sorry" emails and free credit monitoring offers—but real fixes? Those take longer.
