Qantas gains interim injunction in the NSW Supreme Court
Following a Qantas contact centre being hit by a ‘significant’ cyber breach, with stolen data including customers’ names, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth and Frequent Flyer numbers, Qantas has obtained an interim injunction in the NSW Supreme Court. In a statement, Qantas advised:
This prevents the stolen data from being accessed, viewed, released, used, transmitted or published by anyone, including by any third parties.
We want to do all we can to protect our customers’ personal information and believe this was an important next course of action.
Affected customers can continue to access the dedicated support line on 1800 971 541 or +61 2 8028 0534. This service remains available 24/7 and customers have access to specialist identity protection advice and resources through this team. We are aware of increased reports of scammers impersonating Qantas. We recommend customers remain alert for unusual communications claiming to be from Qantas or requesting personal information or passwords.
