Qantas has suffered one of Australia's largest data breaches after a cyberattack on a third-party customer service platform exposed the personal information of up to six million customers, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and frequent flyer numbers. Credit card information, passport details, and passwords were not compromised. The breach, detected on June 30, did not affect flight operations or safety systems, and Qantas acted swiftly to contain it.
