Hackers Release Qantas Customer Data After Ransomware Deadline Passes

Hackers tied to a group that identifies as “Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters” have officially published Qantas customer data on the dark web after a ransom deadline finally passed. This breach, which was tied to the third-party Salesforce environment which was originally compromised in mid-2025, exposed the personal details of millions of different customers, including both Australian and non-Australian nationals. This included names, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth and even frequent-flyer numbers.
