    Optus needs to pay for everything that was lost not the govt because the govt means taxpayers. Why would we pay for an Optus mistake and a big fat mistake that. If I were an affected Optus customer, I'd be seeing a lawyer.

    @Optus Still trying to find out if I’m impacted by the breach or not. Some support and info would be great.

  • banthebbc banthebbc (@banthebbc) reported

    @westaustralian @katinacurtis Why? It’s the stupid federal government that requires telcos like @Optus to hold this sensitive KYC identifying information in the first place.

  • maddog32367930 maddog (@maddog32367930) reported

    @hughriminton @10NewsFirst My partner called #optus to pay out the last remaining device payments so they can move on. The man who spoke to her was rude and seemed to take it personally. He then cut off the service and the call hung up. My partner has no phone now Optus cancelled the service. SOS Only.

    @alifrance5 Optus should also bare all costs for any customer wanting to move to another carrier. What they have allowed is unforgivable.

    @manukoreri @Wolf_Travels @AnnastaciaMP Just had the exact conversation with my mother who doesn't remember the email she had when she was with Optus. This is gonna be an issue with the oldies especially. 🤬 #OptusHack

  • boards_john John Boards 🏌️ 😷 💉x4 (@boards_john) reported

    @Biggy1883 Not "free", who's gonna fork out for the time involved? Optus pays for new D Lic, about $30. Already people fronting up at Inhumane Services were told to piss off, apply online.🤦 This **** storm has only just begun. Will Optus heads roll! Gladys? And if identities are stolen?

    @abc730 Australia's population is approx 25.8 million. Approx 4.8 million are under 15 yrs old. Optus has compromised the reputation & safety of nearly half the over 15 yr old population in Australia. I'm hoping the government imposes huge fines on Optus as reparation for damage caused.

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews Ive heard nothing from them, but i was a default customer 2.5 yrs ago when VirginMobile switched to Optus. Optus must have my details since the handover. Not a peep from #Optus.

  • thewollemipine sydneysider 😷😁 (@thewollemipine) reported

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews It’s very clear that no further action will be taken by Optus unless the customer contacts Optus, asks what details have been leaked and make Optus provide a free Equifax account. I get the feeling Optus has no idea exactly what data has been leaked.
