I was part of the Medibank, Optus and Latitude cyber hacks, and just received a notification from Qantas that I'm involved in theirs. Protection of my personal information is just meaningless at this point.

We know all about you, Steve.

Yeah, same for me with Qantas and Optus. Optus breach made me leave them and not pay my last bill because fuck them. Debt has since been sold to a collection agency and I just ignore their calls ๐Ÿ˜‚ my debt is under $170 so they'll write it off eventually, it's been a few years now haha

But yeah, personal data not being personal anymore? I'm really fucking sick of it. Qantas can suck my metaphorical dick.
