Former Australian PM's Boarding Pass Leaks Passport Details

A blogger discovered that a photo of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott's boarding pass, posted on Instagram, revealed sensitive personal information, including his passport number. With minimal effort, the blogger accessed Abbott's flight booking page, obtaining his passport number, phone number, and internal airline communications. The blogger reported the issue to the Australian government and the airline, and with Abbott's permission, published this blog post warning about the risks of sharing boarding passes online and the importance of protecting personal information.
