  • Jillwrite Jill loves Jazz 🎶💧🌿🕯🌻 (@Jillwrite) reported

    @ClareONeilMP FYI .@Optus as of today are telling customers to use Medicare cards as ID Meanwhile their app doesn’t work & their overseas ‘security experts’ are hanging up if they do not know an answer to polite Qs. One gent read out a customer name & address mistaking it as an #Optus store

  • arckstar Sandi Hill & Arckstar (not that sort of hill/sand) (@arckstar) reported

    @ViscusGaming @6NewsAU @Optus It was freely available hence 9mill + exposures, it shouldn’t of been freely available,that’s why Optus is the one that failed & the “baddies” They, the so called Hackers actually didn’t have to hack anything bce Optus fail under the Australian privacy act. How & what they kept

  • PJW719 PJW719 (@PJW719) reported

    @pitdroidtech @noplaceforsheep I agree with this and yes Optus should offer all customer impacted this financial benefit. but hackers make there living by following through with the payment/. If they don’t delete on payment no one will pay them next time.

    @Optus How come you still have all of my Personally Identifiable Information on file even though I have not been an Optus customer for many years. In my industry we have to purge this as soon as a customer leaves. #OptusHack Really poor form.

  • bentsolutionsau B.Tolputt (@bentsolutionsau) reported

    @jasonjordan Define "hacked". I'm a coder by trade and from what I understand of this situation, Optus is indeed culpable. However, the legal definition of hack is "unauthorised access of a system or network". What occurred was unauthorised access

  • shane25873 Shane Matthew Neave (@shane25873) reported

    Optus have so badly screwed up. I have been long term with TPG, I pay for a cheap package, $49.99 a month, for endless internet…ie. 24/7 streaming, social media etc. Don’t have any issues. Everything is very smooth.

  • Clubby_R8 Christine McDonald 🇦🇺💉💉💉 (@Clubby_R8) reported

    I'm so glad I'm not with Optus, it's super scary what is happening with there service to people 😲🤷

    @Loud_Lass LNP defending actions (or lack thereof) of Optus to try to protect @GladysB reputation. According to @PhillipCoorey Gladys was too busy saving the world to worry about small things like pork barrelling, conflicts of interest with secret lovers or security of customer info.

  • Urchin_LMS citizen xx (au) (@Urchin_LMS) reported

    @clarkjourno It appears to be the optus customer database that was breached Optus has previously stated that other non optus providers were not impacted. My "guess" is that if you aren't & have never been an @Optus customer your details should be safe
