    @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.

    @chrisiperth @Bolt_RSS I'd like to see amendments to the Telecommunications Act 1997 & the Privacy Act 1988 to compel telco's/utilities to purge the data after the service is activated. I can't see how the CIO & CEO of Optus can survive this. TI

    @ZiptieZoe Thanks. I’ll try that. Optus website says it’s sending Codes out to us for 12mths free Equifax membership - they can put a credit block on ALL Credit Agencies simultaneously. That should help. Still waiting for my code.

    @DaleHof1234 @JonesHowdareyou I got the stupid email. Is my data and personal information compromised @Optus

  • simeongh ܫܡܥܘܢ / שמעון (@simeongh) reported

    @RundellTaylor It definitely is. But I feel there's an issue where Optus (unless penalised) gets away with "socialising the risk" to Govt for this obvious error. Idea that Optus suffers a blow to reputation, but recoverable thanks to Oligopoly. So the cost cutting leading to this is acceptable.

    @manypossai @Optus This is all because the LNP ran the visa dept into the ground , then turn around and say look how bad this dept is going if it was in private hands we wouldnt have this problem . FFS thats what they tried with Aus Post till Christene Holgate turned the PO around .

    As an @Optus customer it’s disappointing how quiet they are right now, definitely going to switch providers.

    @hughriminton @10NewsFirst And what about SIM reseller companies who used the #Optus network? Did they give Optus our details? Ie, #iinet used the Optus network until recently. Did they ever share customer data & ID’s with Optus?

  • MinerAeros Neville Bergin (@MinerAeros) reported

    Oh, and I should also mention that my calls to the @Optus call centre keep dropping out because of the woeful mobile network around here! Can't wait to leave this crap teleco.

  • WyleECoyoteEsq WyleECoyoteESQ (@WyleECoyoteEsq) reported

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 Interesting how everyone EXCEPT OPTUS is rallying to support those optus ****** over by allowing the breach to happen. If only optus would step up to help those they ****** over

    @coffeeAddictRN @nadinevoncohen Except if you are no longer an Optus customer but still getting atrocious customer service from them. When do I get my Equifax subscription?What’s the hold-up? @Optus
