    Hey @amaysimAU does the Optus data breach include amaysim customer information

  • SeanBourkeAus Sean (@SeanBourkeAus) reported

    Imagine being an @Optus managed firewall customer right now... Yikes.

  • robee_f Robert Fleming (@robee_f) reported

    @sassycarrie Looks like passwords were salted and hashed, so those are safe but change your optus one anyway. The really bad part is that it looks like, in the cases of those whose data was hoovered, they got more than they need for a little casual identity theft. You'll have to be vigilant

    Just heard on the news that Optus had a hack on the Australia network and customer’s personal information has been stolen and it frightening and scary.

  • DianneCostin Costin Heaps 🌈 💉x 4 (@DianneCostin) reported

    @Optus I’m a customer & concerned with news of data breach. Just checked my email, none from you. Will you be contacting customers to advise of breach, and if so, when?

  • jamesjansson James Jansson (@jamesjansson) reported

    So @Optus has a huge customer data breach, doesn't email/SMS customers about it. Feels weird, almost like they've listened to @GladysB with her "I don't need to know about that bit" philosophy about disclosure.

  • MickyJ62581957 MickJ (@MickyJ62581957) reported

    @abcnews Optus customers and public will never know the real reason. The next media release by Optus will be cyber security word salad to cover up their vulnerability that was exploited.

  • amagickeagle999 Radio Free Australia (@amagickeagle999) reported

    Gladys Berejiklian gets a gong at Optus and then there's a massive data breach.. Never let anyone from the LNP control anything.. Government, councils, business, body corporate, owners corporations, tuck shops.. Nothing.. Never let anyone from the LNP control anything... #auspol

  • Thermalzombie Damien (@Thermalzombie) reported

    @Optus Hi I heard of the hack/breach today do I have to be concerned about my credit card information stored in the pre-paid service when you recharge and it asks if you want to use your previous stored card information. Thanks.

    @Dempsey57Jackie The fact is, it doesnt matter how many passwords, telephone numbers you change it will not stop ID theft. This is a major problem, its more than an inconvenience. I note it took Optus some six or seven hours to make a public statement. Not good enough.
