Hackers leak Qantas data containing 5 million customer records
after ransom deadline passes
Hacker collective Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters demanded payment in return for preventing the stolen data of nearly 40 companies from being shared
Hackers say they have leaked the personal records of 5 million Qantas customers on the dark web, after a ransom deadline set by the cybercriminals passed.
The airline is one of more than 40 firms globally caught up in the hack, reported to contain up to 1bn customer records.
The hacker collective Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters released an extortion note on a data leaks site on the dark web last week, demanding payment in return for preventing the stolen data from being shared.
The Qantas data, which was stolen from a Salesforce database in a major cyber-attack in June, included customers’ email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and frequent flyer numbers. It did not contain credit card details, financial information or passport details.
On Saturday the group marked the data as “leaked”, writing: “Don’t be the next headline, should have paid the ransom.”
