Optus Issues Reports

  • QuentinDempster Quentin Dempster (@QuentinDempster) reported

    Optus “deeply sorry”. Telstra hopes it won’t happen to its customers. Understood. But the biggest issue for all Australian telephony users whose privacy/ID is now a criminally tradeable commodity: when will @AusFedPolice lay charges? C’mon Commissioner Reece Kershaw, brief us.

  • BernardSheppard Bernard Sheppard (@BernardSheppard) reported

    @trevorlong @danwarne @Optus I expect to get mine as part of the resolution of my TIO complaint that I raised when I was informed that since the expiry date on the licence information stored in Optus's systems was in the past, I was not at risk of Identity theft, so wouldn't be getting a code.

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported

    @danwarne @Optus "Step 2: Enter your unique code as provided by Optus" - most people having a LOT of trouble getting this. Optus has NOT reached out to anyone to assist with this

  • reynardvi Reynard Foxx (@reynardvi) reported

    At least the govt has come up with for the Optus issue. "Operation Harry Kane:" Hats off to the underling who thought that one up. Now, on to wasting the rest of the budget in the futile chasing of shadows. Why are we subsiding Singtel? This is an arse covering exercise. #auspol

    @MynoteTa @InsidersABC But consider: A single item of authentication has some convenience, but that single point can be convenient too, to crooks. Govts at present issue driver ID, but that Id has to be shared to be useful, and then suddenly Optus???? Multi-level ID checks look more safe at present.

  • redwinewombat Josh (@redwinewombat) reported

    @trevorlong @Optus I have a friend who is an Optus customer they have very serious safety concerns and have not even had an email to say if they have been impacted...

  • SaySome04986198 Say Something (@SaySome04986198) reported

    @JoshButler They sent me the code for 12 months free with Equifax. I started to join and they wanted a whole bunch of id uploaded and I just closed the website. Just going to cancel everything and change every password, can't trust anyone optus recommends

  • FPKanto The Fresh Prince of Kanto (@FPKanto) reported

    @Optus Can you guys cancel my internet. Ive been trying to contact you guys about canceling for over a day. your Messager isn't working. I've switched to a new provider. I'm about to contact the TIO if this doesn't get sorted today.

  • ClareONeilMP Clare O'Neil MP (@ClareONeilMP) reported

    If you are one of those 10,200 people, we advise you should immediately cancel relevant ID cards, your passport and do whatever else is needed to ensure that you are getting new identity documents based on the email from Optus.

    Well after a fukking hour trying to register for the free optus Equifax, I’m timed out and I can’t scan documents anyway! Now I’m really pissed at Optus, they caused this and now I can’t fix it!🤬🤬🤬
