Bonus: Here's How To Find Out If You've Been Hacked...

Guys, I've brought this to your attention a few days back. Quantus data for frequent flyers has leaked onto the dark web.

I saw this. Now, what are they going to have of mine?

Well?

Maybe your meal preferences, your seat, your favorite seat.

She asked for a champagne and the chicken and always asked for.

A second serving, Like things like email addresses, you know in some cases addresses. All these important personal details have been leaked onto the dark week.

Can the hack my points because everyone knows conscious points like second currency?

Oh?

Absolutely well to tell us more, tech expert and friend of the show, Travelong, Hello, should we be concerned? I mean, I mean I'm a frequent flyer, I'm a concus customer.

I mean you wave the flag for Quantus in the reg What do they have of mine?

You fly more than their pilot's Clinton, They've got They've got a lot about you. But the thing is this is people who have contacted their call center Basic in the last two years, they're the people that have been victims here. But they could, as you said, they could have anything from your basic detail. So you name your email, your frequent fly number, and your points balance through to your meal preference.

Now.

I know it doesn't sound like that bigger deal, and we could joke about it, but the thing is, this is now. This is not just a thing that happened. This data is now in the hands of scammers. They literally have the data. There was gigabytes of data now available. They've got it all. So you're going to get emails now, you're going to get phone calls, You're going to get text messages, and those messages will be far more personalized than ever before because they know those little things about you.

They might take a little bit of info they learn.

About you from Optis, a little bit from medibank, and now a little bit from quantics and whatever the email is. Whether it's an email about travel or flights, which is obvious, they'll try and trick you into thinking your flights to lay click here, update your details, or some random email that talks about something about you that feels very personal.

This must be real because they know that I gluten.

Free, so you're more likely to click that button.

That's the trick here, that's the scam.

Hey, trev.

When this story popped up, it was it was that these hackers or scammers had given Quantus a deadline to play to effectively pay a ransom, which Quantus didn't pay.

What do you think they should have done? Like, I know, we can't.

You can't pay these scammers and hackers, but it is a huge compromise of all of our details and it's someone has to be responsible for it.

It's a massive compromise.

So when we first heard about the hack, it was like, okay, it's in the hands of the hackers now, but we didn't know if the data would ever be released. And as soon as they started talking about ransoms and releasing data by a certain data was like, hang on it, this is going to happen, and it genuinely happened. So unlike in Optus, Optus data was never fully released. You know, there's millions of people's data and only ten thousand were ever released in this case, as far as we can tell,

So true they were threatening that they or they have they posted on the dark Web. The dark web fascinates me. I don't know how to get take us yet. You have the membership dark reb written all over you.

So think of it like an alternate Internet. So it uses a different browser. You can't get it on Google Chrome uses a different browser, and essentially there's no real search engine of the dark Web.

You've got to be in groups. You've got to be in.

I can't get it on the app.

Store, so not everyone can access it.

Look, you can.

You can download a dark web browser pretty quickly and easily, but there's nothing there unless you're so. I was in a Telegram group, you know Telegram. It's like what's happened Signal?

All those things I've heard about.

It.

It just communicating with themselves and their followers via Telegram, and that's where I got the dark web link, and I was able to see what they were purporting to release and see the data.

But again I didn't go counlighting it.

I don't want what else is on the dark Web. If we get access, what do we find?

What's there? Drugs?

Film, as well.

I mean, it's basically a place where you know, if it's if it's not suited for general public consumption, or it's it's the kind of nefarious thing that you wouldn't want Google finding, then it's on the dark Web. You's got to remember, as soon as you put something on the Internet, Google's able to find it and infiltrate it and indexit, search it. So the dark web is not searchable, and that's.

Why I don't want to be a member of the dark Web.

But the biggest thing with this, with Quantus, with everything with the dark Web is vigilance. You've just got to know that these people aren't out there to prank call you. It's not knock and run style. This is they want to get your infrom more of information. So be very wary of phone calls, text messages and emails that feel like they want you to do something, and then ask yourself, why why do they want me to click that tre.

Have you ever come close to being done yourself?

I don't think so, but I wouldn't rule it out. I mean I don't know. Look, I've definitely been a part of plenty of hacks. There's a great, great website called Have I Been Pooned? It's owned with a P, and you type in your email address and it tells you every hack you've ever been part of.

I need to have I Been Honed?

P w ne E D pooned.

No, there's no owned, but put a P instead of.

The O w O any p w n E D no O no Jesus Christ dot com.

Yeah, it's very nerdy dot com.

Yeah, and you put in your email address and it tells you all the hacks that your email address has been linked to. And that means just, let's be honest, you've all shared the password from one side to another. Yeah, and it'll freak you out.

Oh my god, hang on, hang on, hang on before you drop it.

By good, I'm doing mine now too.

Is this part of a hack?

Yeah?

No, But you know what I mentioned about quantus with an injunction the data, the data that qunis has got. This is how Troy Hunt, who runs that website, would normally add quanas to the list, but he can't.
