    @vaughan_k @Optus I don’t know exactly but I did eventually login on my computer. Can’t get the app to download my bills on my phone. But my bills look different so I may have been migrated to a different billing system.

    @Optus chat support are a fail. I spend 80 mins trying to get a refund for a licence renewal. No closer to a refund for their data breach.

  • FetchStep Step and fetch (@FetchStep) reported

    @DavidShoebridge Do the companies Optus shares this data with have any minimum requirements for IP security to protect this already compromised data . This will make the problem worse . How do we know they wont sell the data . Do Optus customers have a say in this decision ....

    @Optus can you please check your DM.I cannot believe one of your representatives put us on hold and then cancelled our internet, fetch tv+sport and phone! We have been passed around and around for the past 3hrs to be told we will never be able to have the fetch tv reinstated?

    @redruby17 @Optus They will blame the programmers. It's never management's fault.

    @manjusrii Yep. Just a stupid kid. Nothing to do with Optus failing to adequately safeguard customer data

    The Optus bastards didn’t get my passport number, firstly, I never give it to nobody, secondly, it expired 3 years ago

    @ExiledVictorian I've never been with Optus, but I used them to sign up for that "watch the Women's World Cup" thing. That was with my boymode email though so it's probably lost to the ages

  • tigerwatcht gwenda (@tigerwatcht) reported

    @ExiledVictorian Daughter still waiting. A friend who had Optus service at the same time got a message several days ago.

    Loosening privacy laws to help deal with the fallout of a massive telco hack is very much on brand for Australian legislative "cyber security" If only Optus was mandated to retain more sensitive info, then it'd be much easier to work out who was hacked
