Hackers have released personal data from 5 million Qantas customers on the dark web after the airline refused to pay ransom demands. The cybercriminal group Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters leaked email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and frequent flyer numbers stolen from a Salesforce database in June.

The breach affects 44 companies globally, including Gap, Toyota, Disney, McDonald's, and Adidas, with up to 1 billion customer records compromised. While no credit card or passport details were included in the Qantas leak, experts warn criminals could use the information for identity theft and personalized phishing scams.

Qantas has established a 24/7 support line for affected customers and implemented additional security measures since the attack.
