    @Sidonie89 @ServiceNSW I think it has blindsided everyone including Service NSW. Probably doesn’t help that they will be understaffed. Optus did sign me up for Equifax which should be free but I haven’t got that far yet. Apparently they protect your credit profile and identity

  • Urchin_LMS citizen xx (au) (@Urchin_LMS) reported

    @clarkjourno It appears to be the optus customer database that was breached Optus has previously stated that other non optus providers were not impacted. My "guess" is that if you aren't & have never been an @Optus customer your details should be safe

  • clarkjourno Philippa Clark (@clarkjourno) reported

    I haven’t seen it reported anywhere, but do we know whether the Optus hack also affects other providers that use the Optus network (like Amaysim)?

    @ClareONeilMP FYI .@Optus as of today are telling customers to use Medicare cards as ID Meanwhile their app doesn’t work & their overseas ‘security experts’ are hanging up if they do not know an answer to polite Qs. One gent read out a customer name & address mistaking it as an #Optus store

    @jamiemgalea Vodaphone's network is definitely worse than Optus' - however, unless you're regularly a tourist on the road on the way to Nimbin I don't think that's going to matter much (my wife is with Voda)

    @Optus not only does your account holders get hacked the data speed is dropping & drop outs increase. Locked into a contact but not getting what we pay for. And when you call all get is someone trying to sell you a product rather than help you. #dobetter

    Authorities are suggesting that due to the grammar errors in the #Optus hackers demands he/she is from a non English speaking background…..if they’re going by bad grammar id be looking at a Queenslander!

  • bozwhite Boz (@bozwhite) reported

    @Jeremy_Kirk Anything about Equifax service. Considering they had a data breach in 2017. Given that company is what the credit system being used for Optus custoners

    Calling the Optus situation a hack is like calling stealing a pen from work a heist, like it's still bad but that **** was sitting right there for the taking
