    Hey @Optus I have an idea. How about you make the next issue of our bills = $0. That will help make up for the cost of us needing to replace everything!

  • unorig Euan (@unorig) reported

    As an ex-Optus customer involved in their data breach, @optus has ask me to contact them through their app and include my passport or drivers licence to confirm my identity.

  • hutcho66 James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported

    @johnb78 @domknight @Optus Just have the telcos submit the identity document number and the phone number to a secure government system. But then if that government system ****** up it would be the government and not Optus in the ****. Mind you they probably would have just covered it up.

  • Fanatic4futball Skarezo Snr (@Fanatic4futball) reported

    @AmyRemeikis That's because they've leaked all their customer's records, everything they ever collected. They never removed old customer records. Optus are lying to us!

  • JasonCadee5 Jason Cadee (@JasonCadee5) reported

    @PeterHooley12 @Optus @OptusSport How’s on top of that my internet has been in and out for 6 week. No change to my bill or anything other then a “sorry” for the outage.

  • davenoosa77 idunno (@davenoosa77) reported

    @domknight @Optus It’s stored because it has value. This here is the problem

  • hutcho66 James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported

    @johnb78 @domknight @Optus Or even design a system where the government does the identity check through an online service and issues an "telco ID" number for the telcos to store instead.

  • trentontheradio Trent (@trentontheradio) reported

    @cindyn @Optus As far as I can tell only emails. Those providers who are MVNOs on the Optus network who wanted to confirm they were not impacted apparently txt customers to inform them however.

  • ShazHaitch 🕯💧Shaz H 💉💉💉💉 (@ShazHaitch) reported

    @domknight @Optus There was never a need to store them.
