Optus Issues Reports Near Richmond, State of New South Wales

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Richmond and nearby locations:

  • JVizzone John Vizzone (@JVizzone) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Last year I had my identity stolen including drivers licence details changed, partially at the hands of Service NSW. Good luck Optus victims getting your licence changed. Even when they were part of the fraud I’m still waiting for my new licence.

  • fictillius Sagittarius (Sgr) A* (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @InsideRetailau @Optus Nothing was broken into, it was left out in the open.

  • richramo Richard Ramnac (@richramo) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    My conspiracy theory is that Optus paid the ransom, hence why the hacker deleted the data, the threat revoked, with the hacker's change of heart happening very quickly after the first 10,000 customer details were released. #optusfail

  • miracleboi Alex Dennis🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @optus my mum's NBN FTTC white NBN box will not get any data thru the line. Have been trying all day to get thru to technical support and that line has been "closed" all day and message is hasn't been helpful. She also has a falls monitor which should be connected but it's not

  • raptisj68 John Raptis (@raptisj68) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @trevorlong You're lucky Trevor, I've been a customer since the analogue days and still haven't received an email from @Optus notifying me of the breach.

  • scott86d Scott D (@scott86d) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I know what's happened with this Optus breach is frustrating for people. However please don't take it out on us working in Service NSW centres. We have instructions at the moment of what we can and cant do in regards to updating your licence.

  • wheelyweb Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Everyone is missing a critical item. Why do telcos need all that info when I can fire up an sms service without it. However. Optus is directly responsible for the data spill, regardless of if it was a hack or a breach. it’s their responsibility to manage security of that data.

  • 50to39 Donna Longhurst (@50to39) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @SEggminder @Optus Hackers can duplicate any business header, info, even "security" so closely that it fools a lot of people. They set up their own sites complete with phone numbers. I got hacked that way. I avoid links completely these days. I never call the number sent in these txts or emails.

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @wallyscr Thanks Aaron. I had been considering getting a dongle or a SIM card or something with Optus just to keep the account (been with them nearly 30 years) but recent events have given me bad juju

  • emzsuri 𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒊 (@emzsuri) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Arrived in BNE and switched my sim to Optus and was welcomed with a message regarding cyberattack on Optus resulting in customer information being stolen. 😳 wow, no firewalls or any contingencies? Shutting down all my Aus Bank accounts 😑

  • renee_glitch Renée (@renee_glitch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Unusual spam WhatsApp message and unsolicited phone calls since #optusdatabreach count now at 2. Awesome 👍👍 I'm not even a customer anymore. Why did they keep my data? @Optus

  • IaenCordell Iaen Cordell (@IaenCordell) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    At last I got an answer for my 3G issues, they have switched off 3G 2100MHZ 3G in Artarmon! Now if they just informed the clowns in customer circus, then again Optus have a more current example of not advising customers! <grin>

  • 50to39 Donna Longhurst (@50to39) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @SEggminder @Optus Probably the small cogs in the chain on the phone not getting all the info from the bosses. Doesn't help situation.

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Optus has put out a statement addressing the government criticism of the company. As a customer I’m still waiting for any communication from the company at all. Hello @optus, when do you intend to contact customers? #optushack

  • paulkneipp Paul Kneipp (@paulkneipp) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @slsandpet With Optus for 10 years. When I moved, I asked them to connect me at the new place. No, they said, we have no service there. Telstra came, the tech pointed and said “that’s an Optus box there”. I was assured that emails would continue for 3 months. Account deleted in 24 hours.

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @HullKiwi I had considered doing something like that. But Optus have let us all down this week so I’m at the point of thinking they can get ******

  • jazza1983 Jarrod McCloughan (@jazza1983) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hi @Optus I am a former customer of yours. You may have an old email on file for me so you may have not reached me by email if one was sent. Will I be notified by mail if the email bounced back? Thanks

  • wheelyweb Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hey @guardian : has anyone asked @optus if previous customer data has been deleted? I was once a customer maybe 8 years ago so no idea if they had my data.

  • DraganLazik D R A G A N (@DraganLazik) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @MadsMelbourne @Optus **** yeah you're right when you activate the sim, so stupid they don't need it either

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Optus CEO has said “this [#optushack] is due to bad actors”. You mean like Tom Cruise?

Optus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Lawrancedece Catherine Lawrance (@Lawrancedece) reported

    @cathywilcox1 @Optus I highly recommend Boost mobile. Here I am in very remote Newman in northern WA and because Boost link to Telstra infrastructure, i get good coverage. $300/yr for unlimited calls and 250G data (which I need for my work). No links to the business just a happy customer.

  • Scribe31oz Linda Thackeray (@Scribe31oz) reported

    @Optus Hi Optus, my nbn modem is flashing red...is it an outage or the box?

  • elizabeth_BBC greg (@elizabeth_BBC) reported

    @AuJennymBrown @Telstra Just cancel and go to Optus

  • raymond_miles Raymond Miles (@raymond_miles) reported

    @cathywilcox1 @Optus Just moved from Telstra to Optus because of terrible customer service from T. Today I couldn't enter a store because I didn't have the bars/ coverage to sign in with the govt Covid app. Love a duopoly.

  • DovyCornerford Dovy (@DovyCornerford) reported

    OH MY GOD! Trying to get some help from anyone @optus is absolutely hell.

  • elizabeth_BBC greg (@elizabeth_BBC) reported

    @Telstra @Aussietranstara Hi had the same problem when I was with @Telstra and as soon as I left them and joined Optus it fixed everything. Best decision ever to leave Telstra

  • adamjonwilliams Adam Williams (@adamjonwilliams) reported

    Optus is having issues today - which is having a knock on effect with TPG who seem to be shoving everything down their telstra link, so seeing degraded performance from these networks to @binarylane - my working theory anyway :)

  • brit0193 Brittany Lee (@brit0193) reported

    @Optus been on live chat for over 12 hours to 6 people today and they cant cancel my plan or credit me an overcharged amount. What's going on over there? You okay?

  • andrealchagas Andrea Chagas (@andrealchagas) reported

    @Optus please ask your “call centre partners” from 02 8049 2850 to stop calling trying to coerce me into giving the highest score for their crappy service when my issue has not even been resolved yet? I have had to contact you 3 times already for a simple billing issue!

  • MancellPam Pam Mancell (@MancellPam) reported

    @cathywilcox1 @Optus This is why I switched providers. I couldn’t even make a call in my kitchen. I had to have the Optus technician fix my internet and he complained there was no reception. I live 8 km from the centre of Melbourne.
