Qantas recently advised that a ‘potential’ cyber criminal has made contact with the airline in the wake of the cyber attack on a customer service platform in Manila. Qantas has indicated that it has yet to receive a ransom demand, while no personal data of the 5.7 million affected customers has been released on the ‘dark web’ to date. Satnam Narang from US-based cybersecurity firm Tenable warns that ‘social engineering’ scams may be the biggest risk to Qantas customers whose data has been compromised. He says given that phone numbers were exposed in the hack, affected customers may be targeted with SMS-based scams.
