    @InsidersABC, an IT expert, or even someone with eyes, will tell you that if all our Telstra and Optus routers are made by Huwai, there is no point locking them out of the 5G network.

    @MackayIM @aparachick Far from it. I could list half a dozen attacks since 2019 in this country with at least as much impact as the Optus breach - and they’re just the ones we know about. The 2019 Chinese ANU breach was probably the worst of all of them for long term impact.

    @giveusaW @Kel_McFletch @Optus Telcos are disgraceful Martin. When Telstra failed me, and like you I needed Internet for work, I claimed $25k compensation for 30 days without service. They settled $10,000. Optus owe you similar.... Not to mention losing your personal details! Don't give up.

    So how many folks had their private data exposed by both Optus and Medibank? Surely has to be hundreds of thousands. If we had a way to sue for breaches of privacy you'd find this **** would get attention

    @Asher_Wolf @pully8 @OAICgov I had a free month, the following day after it expired Optus was compromised. I wanted to cancel my account prior to the day before the free month ended. So I took my modem back, but was told I could only cancel the account if I bought the used modem. If I had a faulty modem YES!

    @newscomauHQ Optus introduced hackers to Australian companies poor security

  • Minus777 Peter (@Minus777) reported

    @msfang @Optus @Telstra It's scary that there's no way of contacting Optus. Their online support just made unrelated responses. It's like all Optus employees in Australia are hidden from the public. The people in Optus stores don't actually work for Optus.

  • Minus777 Peter (@Minus777) reported

    @msfang @Optus @Telstra Worst part is, we had plans for this weekend, but had to transfer money just in case and it didn't transfer straight away. So it's messed our weekend up. We're on edge.

  • _BARK3R_ BARKƎR (@_BARK3R_) reported

    So @Optus why ******** then are you continuously failing to fulfill my order and why are you CHOOSING to continuously push my order back.

  • StuartHicko Stuart.Hicko 💉💉💉💉 (@StuartHicko) reported

    So I have the trifecta! Optus (ex Internet customer), Medibank and now Energy Australia. Two of those were via development or test systems. Why were they connected to production? Why was live data in those test systems? FFS. #ITSecurity

  • Kel_McFletch Kerri McDonnell (@Kel_McFletch) reported

    So 21 days and counting and still no home internet @Optus and to add insult to injury gone from having full NBN service to my home to NOTHING! #greatservicenot #diabolical @giveusaW
