    @Optus I got an email saying my details were in the data breach. 😡 I find that my email address has indeed been pwnd! Now I get a phone call from a mobile no. saying it’s the Chinese Embassy 😳😡. It’s been years since I was with Optus- why did you hang on to my data? 😡

  • Trevor12371105 jimmmmyyyyyyyyy (@Trevor12371105) reported

    Good bye Optus thanks for f#%%ing us all over!!!! New phone new network provider

  • ARehman45015055 A Rehman (@ARehman45015055) reported

    @nadinevoncohen Yep, got the same stupid letter today from Optus apologising for compromising my personal data. This organisation & other like it are nothing more than blood sucking leeches. The only reason the data was compromised because these leeches refuse to spend money on Data Security.

  • video_link Lars Cosh-Ishii (@video_link) reported

    @zahidtg ideally, OPTUS required to manage all the paperwork too; provide details on comprised customer accts to various official re-issuing entities ordering new~unique documents delivered by courier.. done within 30-days.

    @Jeremy_Kirk If Optus put security last when developing APIs, that explains an awful lot. Security first. Always.

    @capt_petabyte @ServicesGovAU @ServicesGovAU how hard would it be for u to DM this gentleman & get his ph number?! Good grief. I've been trying to get through re the #Optus debacle, but at least I'm not laid up in hospital. Help this person!! #optusfail #optusbreach

    Wtf is that total loser, Sarah Henderson, doing on SBS News, blaming the Gov for sitting on it's hands on the Optus breach! So convieniently has this nincompoop forgotten it was their weak Governance of these very laws!!

  • 8footerz atefooterz ‏ (@8footerz) reported

    @FckingKangaroos @Angry_Bubbe Optus rarely pay a 30 day invoice under 90 days minimum, with follow up calls. NSW privatised their now NGO Roads Maritime (former DMR section that cobbles up licenses for bucks), why would a separate donor company suffer a NSW Govt issue?

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    If you thought Optus had moved to a Customer focused approach with this whole data hack - think again. I’ve got details of what I think is the most disgraceful lack of attention to the VERY worst affected customer. Just need time to calm down and write it all down

    all @optus has to do it is create docker image and use that to test its unauthenticated API endpoint with test data not put it on the public internet with live customer data #security #databreach - seems cost saving exercise not to test with dummy data - save $100
