  • martyps MARTY 🏳️‍🌈 (@martyps) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus your app sucks and I’m not waiting on hold for an hour for someone on the phone to tell me I can check it on the app

  • martyps MARTY 🏳️‍🌈 (@martyps) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Mike8899889 @harryrd97 Optus is still **** though, even without the cyber attack.

  • 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.

  • morgen_craufurd Morgen Craufurd (@morgen_craufurd) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @CatPurry9 Optus lobbied ScroteO to water down their security requirements and he -of course-compiled-That’s where the rot originated-big ole surprise!!

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    If you thought Optus had moved to a Customer focused approach with this whole data hack - think again. I’ve got details of what I think is the most disgraceful lack of attention to the VERY worst affected customer. Just need time to calm down and write it all down

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

    So wondering how many Optus customers are considering ditching the telco because of the data breach they incurred. Are you an existing Optus customer? Would you consider leaving them?

  • immsollawyers (((Anne ODonoghue))) (@immsollawyers) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    “While Ms Bayer Rosmarin has claimed Optus was victim of a “sophisticated attack”, the government believes the data breach was more likely down to lax security measures at the telecoms giant.”

  • fatinpaisal Fatin Paisal (@fatinpaisal) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I was trying to change my network provider and was trying to do so on a day before the cyberattack but my user experience to do it was pretty bad, and I opt to stay with Optus. Bad timing. Definitely will change to something else soon.

  • Boatyboy1 Boatyboy (@Boatyboy1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Eva_Lishus @Cindy1Miss @Optus Have a look at Amaysim. Uses Optus network, but much cheaper. Although it is 13x 28 day bills per year.

  • callejap Patricia (@callejap) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @RavenZech2 @Optus A friend of one who joined Optus 6 months ago has just told me that he’s received no emails from them. Nothing at all. Pretty bad form @Optus

  • 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

  • Roucek . (@Roucek) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Just banished Optus to the Never Never. #OptusNo #OptusHack #OptusDataBreach

  • emelinemataia E 🌺 (@emelinemataia) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Is Optus down or something? Because my network is ‘SOS’ @Optus

  • 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

  • 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.

  • JPMasters JPMasters (He/Him/They/Them) (@JPMasters) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @lesstenny @RNBreakfast I wasn’t listening this morning, but my thoughts are, rain - our infrastructure never considered there would be rain, mobile coverage infrastructure not keeping up with demand (I am 13km from Sydney GPO on a high point - hopeless with both Telstra and Optus), and NBN no doubt.

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

    Independent financial institutions have contacted me with their concerns about my data warning me if I’m an Optus customer I should take actions now. Yet Optus has made no contact whatsoever. Not good enough @Optus, I’m not making any payments until I hear from you. #Optushack

  • 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.

  • jkalbrechtsen janet albrechtsen (@jkalbrechtsen) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Damn. Microwave has broken. I blame Optus hack.

  • 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.

  • aamirkhan78 Aamir Khan (@aamirkhan78) reported

    @Optus Internet at my house is down for 2 days. The modem keeps restarting every 1 hour. No amount of coordinating with Optus support has helped. This is my last ditch effort to get support before I log a case with Ombudsman NSW

  • imo_weg Imogen Wegman (@imo_weg) reported

    @purdij Five years ago I was with Internode, which uses the Optus network, but didn't have reception in my South Hobart house, so I switched to Boost (apparently the only one with access to the full Telstra network).

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @kevin_naing @OptusSport Hi Kevin, there is no reported fault with Optus Sport on Fetch box. When you say it is not working can you please direct message us the details of the issue? Do you see any error message on the screen? Kartik

  • YesIWatchReali1 YesIWatchRealityTV (@YesIWatchReali1) reported

    A Huge Thank you too @Optus @ Willows Townsville. Your complete incompetence, condescending and rude manner to my mother ( who’s been a loyal customer of 22 years ) we were able to find a @Telstra dealer who sold her a new iPhone 13 pro max. #NeverAgain

  • Michael73Barney Michael Barnett (@Michael73Barney) reported

    @Optus @Tarallo84 Receiving different answers all the time. Optus say fixed on message only to be told it's not from tech or no issue at all. Everyone has a dif answer. Over this. Case manager still not called me in 2 days as promised by tech. Its Samsung phones mms delays

  • vanaalst Old Mate from CBR 💉💉💉 (@vanaalst) reported

    @GrogsGamut Great, maybe she can fix my eversoslow internet connection @optus

  • MarkStott1 Mark Stott (@MarkStott1) reported

    @abcsport Pat seems like the right captain going forward, tough situation for him. Langer treatment by CA was poor and this is simply the spin that follows. The CA board have made some blues and should be held more accountable. Optus Stadium reception to Oz side would have interesting.

  • SB_Recruitment Scott Brown (@SB_Recruitment) reported

    @optus login: After 5 attempts, you will be locked out. Me: *logging in for the first time* Optus: Your account is now locked due to too many unsuccessful attempts to log in. No wonder I hate Optus with an absolute passion.

  • TerritoryGal17 blak and sick of this **** (@TerritoryGal17) reported

    I feel like people think chucking me on hold for nearly 2 hours will make me hang up but actually it makes me more determined. Last call on hold I put together flat pack furniture (1hr 57 mins). Today I’m calculating how much Optus are going to comp me for this inconvenience.

  • DrKrissyH A/Prof Kristyn Harman PhD 👩🏻‍🎓 (@DrKrissyH) reported

    @purdij I was with Virgin mobile (now defunct) that piggy-backed on Optus. Coverage was definitely not as broad here as Telstra. Fine in the larger towns, but no signal out bush.
