Publication Bleeping Computer now believes that the hacking group known as ShinyHunters may be behind the 5.7 million-person breach, rather than accused group Scattered Spider.
Paul Abbate, former deputy director of the FBI, talks about the Scattered Spider, the importance of reporting, and how to train employees to spot social engineering attacks.
The threat was revealed in documents that the Flying Kangaroo submitted to court to obtain an injunction, which have for the first time laid out the timeline of events following the attack.
Separately, the airline has also revealed that 5.7 million passengers were targeted in total, and broken down the number of those whose names, emails, phone numbers, and other data fields were compromised.
From possible legal outcomes, to what the government can do to fight data breaches, here’s what analysts and academics have to say about this week’s Qantas hack.
Tony Jarvis, Field CISO and VP APJ at cyber security company Darktrace, told Australian Aviation’s sister brand Cyber Daily that the breach shows “many hallmarks of the Scattered Spider ransomware group”.
