  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.”

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @wallyscr Thanks Aaron. I had been considering getting a dongle or a SIM card or something with Optus just to keep the account (been with them nearly 30 years) but recent events have given me bad juju

  • 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

  • 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>

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • fictillius Sagittarius (Sgr) A* (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @InsideRetailau @Optus Nothing was broken into, it was left out in the open.

  • renee_glitch Renée (@renee_glitch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Unusual spam WhatsApp message and unsolicited phone calls since #optusdatabreach count now at 2. Awesome 👍👍 I'm not even a customer anymore. Why did they keep my data? @Optus

  • 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.

  • emzsuri 𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒊 (@emzsuri) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Arrived in BNE and switched my sim to Optus and was welcomed with a message regarding cyberattack on Optus resulting in customer information being stolen. 😳 wow, no firewalls or any contingencies? Shutting down all my Aus Bank accounts 😑

  • 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

  • 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

    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.

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @HullKiwi I had considered doing something like that. But Optus have let us all down this week so I’m at the point of thinking they can get ******

  • DavidGallard2 David Gallard (@DavidGallard2) reported

    @ClareONeilMP @billshortenmp Optus advertises it acted quickly to shut down the cyberattack - if it was so quick why were 10,000,000 records affected?

  • thanratt Time4Change (@thanratt) reported

    @abcnews @Optus Just got a text #OptusHack stating my DL number was taken. What other ID of my 100 points was taken? Will I hear via email as first notified, via sms or via snail mail. Customer care = Nil.

  • Gail_Boserio 💧Gail Boz (@Gail_Boserio) reported

    Just me or is anyone else wondering why Optus would even need my drivers license number to grant me internet??WTF???

  • arsendragon1 arsendragon (@arsendragon1) reported

    @9NewsSyd My bank info was saved on their system for Optus Sport subscription. Plus i was a previous customer, and guess by the number they kept out info on file after. I received no info from them whether or not I had info leaked. They are dodgy as imo.

  • Rizky90_ Dani.M.Rizk (@Rizky90_) reported

    @jimmy_sid1 @Optus Very very poor response.

  • SteveDoggies8 Steve Doggies (@SteveDoggies8) reported

    @jimmy_sid1 @Optus I have a contract expiring in 3 months. They will never get another cent out of me

  • kylefraser1 Kyle (@kylefraser1) reported

    @JennaPrice The freedom to choose whether I have to carry technology on me at all times. Imagine being compliant and accepting to being tracked 24-7 when we just saw optus get hacked so easily. Imagine what that kind of information could do in the wrong hands. Hopefully it never does.

  • VioletGre3n Violet Green (@VioletGre3n) reported

    @ClareONeilMP @billshortenmp Are .@Optus planning on contacting former customers or giving them a way to contact Optus? Without a current service number calls are auto-disconnected and folks can’t use chat.

  • mlbkiwi mlb kiwi 💭 (@mlbkiwi) reported

    @barbecuarea @leuba_ What I choose not to disclose. You figure it out or maybe just blindly give up all your data to whoever asks for it and hope it’s never going to be a problem. Optus told me the only data that was breached of mine was my driver’s licence number. I can fix that.

  • KathyDReid Ms_Reid (@KathyDReid) reported

    @alisa_stephens @Optus @nswpolice I just received the same text. I’ll go into service NSW and suss it Tuesday to get a straight answer.
