I think, there has been some misunderstanding in this thread around QBR. I believe the second email update was talking about the "Business (optional)" field in your personal account. You have in your personal accounts the ability to put both a personal number and business number and it is this...

Take some COVID tests with you.😀

Yes, and with access to your QF account (on top of stealing your points and canceling a year of award bookings - to extract those points), they have enriched their data even further…… they now know a bunch about what your other active accounts (banks, hotels) are (from your transaction history)...

Great recommendations and they definitely should be followed. The one remaining challenge we have though, is that with very enriched data sets being available to hackers, they don't need your passwords anymore. They simply use their social engineering techniques to bypass this vector. eg. Hi...

Text message from different carrier, that I also use on the same phone (dual sim), so I know the number is legit as I regularly get service updates on that number. Text message provides confirmation code to confirm transfer and a legit link..... so everything points to a legit message not a...

Neither did I, but I followed the protocol on their website, in case an adverse outcome occurred, and so I could demonstrate I did what was appropriate. Optus closed with: “And rest assure that they can't just port out your number.” So I guess I have some sort of written assurance to lean on…..

Cool, followed protocol and messaging my provider (Optus) of the attempt……. Current stage in the conversation: “Nothing to worry, to avoid this kind of scenario I have a suggestion.….But first, I’d like to know how much data you use on your mobile since this number is on a prepaid plan. The...

I have just been hit twice with requests to port my mobile number (the one leaked in the Qantas hack) to a new account.....

No enforcement really needed. You can get as many cards as you want, by moving shops, smiling nicely etc….. but you won’t get the 20x points when you exceed the quota….. need to buy the extra cards on other accounts (eg partners)

Interesting that the 7 day view in the image above does not show any availability, but clearly there is on the day you have selected?

Yes, telling me which fields of data have been taken, is not enough to determine what action to take. We need to know what the actual information was - is it still current information or historical and previous information.

Still waiting on one more third email (not in spam)……. Thinking why this might be delayed, I had a look at the third email for other family members, I note in these emails that Qantas says: “Our customer records are based on unique email addresses, so if you have multiple email addresses...

Agree Agree - and partially to your point, we do not know yet, if the systems, monitoring in place met the expected standards of the day. But, at the end of the day, systems were breached, and this is inappropriate, and whatever the vector(s) was/were, this needs to be fixed, with a change in...

I am not sure that this one is a speculation? I understand Qantas admits that data was compromised on one of its systems. That to me is conclusive that security was not appropriate. “Security” includes all layers of defence (including the human layer, the physical layer and the data layer...

and Wimbledon is a Suburb....... so I assume it can be used at the local Chippy in Wimbledon 🤷‍♂️

Looks like this could have been a zipper merge, where the vehicle in front has right of way...... so maybe the bridge driver had right of way?

If you are giving up your J seat to your father, I would expect you would have to do a name change to do this? The dilemma then is, he will have access to the lounge, but not you.

Your outcome draws out some interesting reflections: 2000 Virgin starts as a LCC 2009 Virgin becomes a long haul international airline 2012? Virgin becomes a Full Service Airline 2020 Virgin becomes a zero cost parking lot 2021 to 2025 Virgin starts restructuring to back to a LCC so which...

Yes, that was me that was wearing shorts in this lounge. Sorry :) I guess my knees where not the type that cause offence :)

No more Air Chathams to Norfolk. Ceased last month
