    @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.

    Some customers only being informed tonight by Optus that their data has been breached. So I guess we can safely assume anyone who has ever been an Optus customer has had their data hacked?! Get your **** together @optus!

  • VonFingerbxng ɢᴀʏʙʀᴀʜᴀᴍ ᴛᴡɪɴᴋɪɴ (@VonFingerbxng) reported

    @cammysan @Optus I was reading about it today. You won't be able to change your license number till fraud has actually been attempted. So, fingers crossed I guess. Optus has also been advised not to release specific figures. Because **** the consumer or something.

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 Hello @Optus as a former customer, can you please confirm how many years this goes back? How am I to know if I was affected? I no longer have the same email, address, phone number or surname. How would you possibly contact me to let me know?

  • Appit15 Appit (@Appit15) reported

    @pauldutton1968 @ClareONeilMP I got my email at 6pm 27/9. I ceased my account with Optus in July 2020. I left them because of bad customer service!

    @SenPaterson @Birmo Oi. Why should the public sector wear all the risk while the private sector reaps all the rewards? Make Optus pay for the damage they have caused

    @SenPaterson @Birmo Paterson presses Labor Party on Optus issue! Bail out my mates he cries! Bail out my mates! Optus should pay.

  • v4rgs David Varga (@v4rgs) reported

    @SenPaterson @Birmo Optus should take responsibility pay for the passport replacement. Gov should help expedite replacement and if that means they need to put on extra staff temporarily then Optus should pay for that.
