Qantas shares fell 2.2% today after the Australian airline admitted a cyberattack may have accessed the data of 6 million customers.  

The attack, which targeted a contact center in Manila, was discovered on Monday, after the airline detected unusual activity on a third-party customer service platform. Qantas now reports that all systems are secure.
