  • ReetuMutti Reetu Mutti (@ReetuMutti) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    .@TPG_Telecom Trying to port my TPG no from TPG’s Optus to Vodaphone network. Spent countless hrs calling helpdesk every day, talked to supervisiors, waited days for engineers to investigate. Been waiting 20 DAYS, still not working. This is ridiculous. Fix this!!

  • ajhill_alan Alan Hill (@ajhill_alan) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @perthovalman @kevinperry @TheWorldGame @SBS @ALeague @premierleague @Craig_Foster @LucyZelic A cash-strapped FTA network does its best but has no hope of competing with Foxtel (itself scaling back football coverage in the face of its own financial woes) and Optus. I'd blame the government before pointing a finger at SBS.

  • SophiePearse Sophie Pearse (@SophiePearse) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    I’ve phoned @Optus customer service 3 days in a row and you’ve YET to rectify this issue, despite advising you have. This is incredibly poor form, deplorable in fact 😡

  • carlagrossetti @carlagrossetti (@carlagrossetti) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Thanks Nard. What causes an outage that only affects webmail?

  • ShaneNatalie Shane N. Thompson (@ShaneNatalie) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus hello, I received spam email this week claiming to be Optus & confirming that I had increased my laptop data usage with Optus. I never increased my data usage. Can you now confirm with me that my laptop/mobile plan hasn’t been changed? Thanks.

  • KitaandMat Mat and Kita Clarke (@KitaandMat) reported from Maitland, State of New South Wales

    @OeterB @Fozbyte That's what I did! I'm an optus customer so it's included in my plan.

  • gjblue Greg Blue (@gjblue) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Hillysfarms @Telstra I reckon telstra coverage in metro areas is third after optus and Vodafone, its terrible here in Newcastle

  • nickintheworld Nick Williams (@nickintheworld) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @a_choros **** Telstra, marry Vodafone, kill Optus... Truth be told I’d prefer to kill Telstra while screaming **** you and have an ongoing FWB with Vodafone and just leave Optus alone

  • tmacca_1996 Thomas McKenna (@tmacca_1996) reported from Newcastle, State of New South Wales

    @Optus @7mate take your ads off appearing as every second one! I will never use your service due to this. Biggest pet peeve, waste of money on your marketing side #idiots #advertising

  • pigironman1 pig iron man (@pigironman1) reported

    @samanthamaiden Optus is valued at between $8-12 billion. The hackers were only asking for $1 million? This whole saga is turning into a comedy of errors...

  • carter_wassana Wassana sydney (@carter_wassana) reported

    @madwixxy @Optus @Telstra This govt have no intention and no ***** to hold any big business accountable for its errors and omissions

  • ShipsInP0RT Annie Rob (@ShipsInP0RT) reported

    @cokeefe9 @MSMWatchdog2013 @9NewsAUS What a nightmare for people caught up in this Optus security fail😢

  • matts45682 Matt (@matts45682) reported

    Why isn't @ServiceVic doing anything like the awesome work from @ServiceNSW about the Optus hack?, once again another disgraceful let down from @DanielAndrewsMP

  • ICR360 International Crisis Room 360 (@ICR360) reported

    The hacker claiming to be behind the cyber attack against Optus has released 10,000 customer records and threatened to leak more if the Australian telecommunication giant refuses to pay them US$1 million in cryptocurrency.

  • Phoenix_DownXIV Phoenix (@Phoenix_DownXIV) reported

    big **** you to optus btw as someone whos been affected

  • GavinWakeupint1 Gavilarr 🍸☮️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤💛❤️ (@GavinWakeupint1) reported

    @newscomauHQ So the blatant lies & the gaslighting of customers continues. Why did you not say anything about customer Medicare numbers being compromised as well?? Your behaviour and response after the fact is disgraceful. Heads need to roll & I hope Optus is bleeding shitloads of customers.

  • ejBelPatra t u p p e n c e (@ejBelPatra) reported

    I feel I'm unnecessarily paranoid, but I just saw a tweet from an ex-Optus customer who said although they'd cancelled their account a couple of years ago, they still received an email informing them their info was part of the recent hacked & stolen data as it was kept on file.

  • Tegan_Writes Tegan Jones (@Tegan_Writes) reported

    Off the back of the Optus hack: Has anyone received emails from other companies/banks/service providers assuring you if this safe and robust security systems?

  • mowse2 Mowse2 (@mowse2) reported

    As bad as the Optus breach is... What is more worrying is how everyone else is also gathering our data. You want to use x app -> mandatory KYC. These businesses have a lower security budget than Optus. It won't even make the news if they get hacked. That's scary.
