Qantas Airlines Hit by Major Cyberattack Affecting 6 Million Passengers

Australian airline giant Qantas recently disclosed a major data breach impacting approximately 6 million customers after its call center systems were compromised. The exposed data includes names, emails, phone numbers, and birthdates. Fortunately, the airline confirmed that payment and passport data remain secure. Qantas has launched a dedicated support center, informed law enforcement, and is urging all affected individuals to monitor for signs of phishing or identity theft. This breach illustrates the vulnerabilities of customer service infrastructure, especially when it’s connected to larger enterprise data lakes.
