    @Telstra This tweet brought to you by me piggy backing off my Optus phones fully functional mobile network data. Eftpos machines are unable to do this. So any work around has to come from Telstra or I have to get the bank to change to Optus.

    This is the worst thing to happen to Optus since they lost the rights to stream the Australian cricket summer free of charge to members #OptusDataBreach

  • chdyctt KB 🐈 (@chdyctt) reported

    @drvyom Optus to customer: 🦗Customer to optus; what do we do? Optus: watch your accounts

  • jezzalenko7 Jeremy Lademann (@jezzalenko7) reported

    FYI - SMS received from "Optus" saying network being upgraded in my area and to click a link to bypass issues. #OptusDataBreach

    @Jeremy_Kirk Optus probably asked for 100 points of documents so it’ll be a combo of licence, passport or Medicare numbers leaked for each customer. This is not good at all

  • squalkdonttweet Squalker (@squalkdonttweet) reported

    Gladys should get a job at @qantas , having taken down the government and now Optus. She would only need a few months to destroy Qantas. #qantas #OptusDataBreach

    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>

  • NealPortenza Josh 🇺🇦🇹🇼 (@NealPortenza) reported

    @acccgovau no Optus customer should have to pay their bill for the remainder of 2022

  • Tyindel Valkyrja the nerd girl🏳️‍⚧️ (@Tyindel) reported

    Scared as **** with the optus hack. Am trusting the minister for cybersec more than optus atm. Really hoping not in the 2.3 million that have extensive personal info in the hack (passport number, Medicare number, driver's license so on)

    @ChandAshok @Optus Because paying ransoms like this never works, it's completely idiotic to believe someone, who has already shown no ethics at all by breaking the law and stealing people's private information, will just delete the "only copy" of the data
