  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    Damn. Microwave has broken. I blame Optus hack.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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>

  • 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.”

  • cjparke06088096 cjparker (@cjparke06088096) reported

    @LizardHumanoid I think if you have chronic health problems it might be helpful but I wouldn’t trust people with my details, just look at Optus hack etc. Also insurance companies will eventually get their hands on it and deny claims etc.

  • johnbonac1 John Bonac1 (@johnbonac1) reported

    Hi @Optus I spent 30 mins chatting via the app to someone last night about an issue and they resolved nothing. Now on hold for over 30 minutes. This is not good enough for a business customer. Can I PLEASE speak to someone in Australia!?!? #Optus #OptusFail

  • charlietech Charlie (@charlietech) reported

    Just got confirmation that Optus will be on the Life&Technology radio show to discuss the ins and outs of their new internet service with a temporary speed increase. Tomorrow from 8am.

  • TheBusDriver43 Retired (@TheBusDriver43) reported

    @peter_adderton @EFTM @Optus It’s Optus, next they will charge for Two Factor Authentication (data security you know, ask Elon, don’t wanna be hacked), that’s if your still a customer!

  • Crissie_D88 Christina Daley (@Crissie_D88) reported

    @Telstra Hey Telstra. I opened a complaint and its been even worse. I have ended up in tears and asked them to close the case. I am DONE. Im moving to @Optus

  • TimMannering goldengaytim (@TimMannering) reported

    @dmejiacanales @Optus To be fair, they never said privacy x

  • HansOrph Hans Orph (@HansOrph) reported

    @msstraighty180 @Optus Yeah they can be a little "trying". Optus were good before they were taken over by Singtel, ever since then it's been down hill

  • geokats23 geokards (@geokats23) reported

    @Clintwits @Ryan35970975 @Optus Fairly low hanging fruit, but sure there is some back end support which users could have done themselves

  • msstraighty180 Tiffany (@msstraighty180) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @HansOrph @Optus Had bad customer experience with them in 2009 thus they've been blacklisted by me since then

  • fireinbone_ Lisa Michelle (@fireinbone_) reported

    @Optus I can't send a dm because my twitter account is locked and i cant access it because i have no service to be able recive a text message to fix it
