Qantas Airways said on Sunday, October 12 that it is among the companies whose customer data was published by cybercriminals following a July database breach, reports Reuters. The airline had previously confirmed that more than one million customers had sensitive details such as phone numbers, birth dates, or home addresses accessed in one of Australia’s largest cyber incidents in recent years. Another four million customers had only their names and email addresses stolen during the hack.

The July breach is considered Australia’s most high-profile cyberattack since attacks on telecommunications firm Optus and health insurer Medibank in 2022, which led to mandatory cyber resilience laws.

What Qantas said about data breach

In a statement, Qantas said that it was “one of a number of companies globally that has had data released by cyber criminals following the airline’s cyber incident in early July, where customer data was stolen via a third party platform.”The airline added that it is working with specialist cybersecurity experts to determine which data was included in the release. Qantas also has an ongoing injunction to prevent the stolen information from being accessed, shared, or published by anyone, including third parties.

According to Guardian Australia, the hacker group Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters is behind the Qantas data release, which came after a ransom deadline set by the group was missed. Qantas declined to comment on the report.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
