Names, phone number and email addresses were just some of the personal data points compromised during a hacking scandal that first hit Qantas back in July.

Fast forward to this week, and things have escalated, with the hackers behind that attack leaking that data on the dark web.

On today’s podcast, we’re breaking down exactly what happened, how the hackers got in, who was behind the attack, and what Qantas customers can do to protect themselves.

Hosts: Elliot Lawry and Billi FitzSimons
