Qantas hit by cyber attack, leaving 6 million customer records at risk of data breach

Qantas is warning a "significant" amount of customer data has likely been stolen from its records during a cyber attack.

The airline has released a statement saying that, on Monday, it detected unusual activity on a third-party platform used by a Qantas airline contact centre.

The airline said 6 million customers had service records in this platform.
Qantas said it was investigating the proportion of the data that had been stolen, though it expected it would be "significant".

An initial review confirmed the data included some customers' names, email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and frequent flyer numbers, the airline said.

"Importantly, credit card details, personal financial information and passport details are not held in this system," the statement read.

"No frequent flyer accounts were compromised nor have passwords, PIN numbers or log in details been accessed."

Qantas said the system had been quarantined and affected customers would be notified.
