  John Raptis (@raptisj68) reported 2 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @trevorlong You're lucky Trevor, I've been a customer since the analogue days and still haven't received an email from @Optus notifying me of the breach.

  @aparachick @anna_prole @JustJul77588855 Can't speak for Aussie but TPG own network. Anybody know, do the piggyback players simply use Optus infrastructure but maintain client data on their own system/s.🤔🤔

  @wallyscr Thanks Aaron. I had been considering getting a dongle or a SIM card or something with Optus just to keep the account (been with them nearly 30 years) but recent events have given me bad juju

  @HullKiwi I had considered doing something like that. But Optus have let us all down this week so I’m at the point of thinking they can get ******

  @CaraMia200 @strangerous10 Has any @Optus customer on here received any direct communication from them yet?

  @gomikestevens @Optus As a current Optus customer, I am still yet to receive any correspondence from them about this colossal **** up

  Optus has put out a statement addressing the government criticism of the company. As a customer I’m still waiting for any communication from the company at all. Hello @optus, when do you intend to contact customers? #optushack

  Pat Norman (@pat_norman) reported 13 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  My partner got the email from Optus and my jaw hit the floor reading it. “Don’t worry the network is fine…but your drivers licence, date of birth, name, email, and phone number have all been compromised”. I can’t think of a *worse* possible breach.

  @craigthomler @stilgherrian If I understand it right it’s an Optus CUSTOMER human error or an Optus EMPLOYEE human error. Either way, it’s an Optus company problem and responsibility.

  @MadsMelbourne @Optus **** yeah you're right when you activate the sim, so stupid they don't need it either

  Renée (@renee_glitch) reported 24 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  Unusual spam WhatsApp message and unsolicited phone calls since #optusdatabreach count now at 2. Awesome 👍👍 I'm not even a customer anymore. Why did they keep my data? @Optus

  Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported 25 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @RichardKGrump Couple of IT peeps on RN just a moment ago. Of opinion real internal system problems given what Optus has said. 🤔 Real = should NOT have happened as a result of poor system/s.

  Chris Jack (@chrisjackis) reported 30 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  If laughable that @PeterDutton_MP suggests the #OptusDataBreach is a problem for the government. It’s an Optus issue about a breach in Optus customer data. Let Optus sort things out and investigate first. #auspol

  Jarrod McCloughan (@jazza1983) reported 30 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  Hi @Optus I am a former customer of yours. You may have an old email on file for me so you may have not reached me by email if one was sent. Will I be notified by mail if the email bounced back? Thanks

  @hammocklyfe @Optus I’m a current customer. But might not be by the end of the day.

  @southwin28 @Optus I’m still waiting but have discovered Vodafone has a better offer. If Optus wants to keep me as a customer they will now have to match Vodafone

  Arrived in BNE and switched my sim to Optus and was welcomed with a message regarding cyberattack on Optus resulting in customer information being stolen. 😳 wow, no firewalls or any contingencies? Shutting down all my Aus Bank accounts 😑

  Iaen Cordell (@IaenCordell) reported 51 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @send2mc @trevorlong Yes, I also am having Optus email issues. No point ringing up as the lines are already blocked up with people worried about the data breach, remember don’t shoot the messenger even if they are in a OS call centre.

  SAB (@EvilStephMum) reported 4 minutes ago

  @lavosaurus @Optus Ropable when I got this email. Charging me more for the same crappy service, taking away more, claiming to give me more data which NO ONE is tracking, and still having less coverage than ever. Eff off kunz.

• 
  David C (@BlackGhost41) reported 5 minutes ago

  @lavosaurus Optus increased my phone by $4 but they also subscribed to channels I don't need and I can't cancel that subscription. Not happy.with the service. Thinking of moving once contract is up.

• 
  TheTossitAcctForCustomerServiceIssues (@BadCustSvc101) reported 5 minutes ago

  @Ballyurra It's not only copper that has that issue. My Optus Home 5G has dropped down to lower-end DSL speeds repeatedly during the big wet.

• 
  Joey Legit (@JoeyLegit1) reported 7 minutes ago

  @NUFC_39 @TMGas86 @NUFC Is there seriously no service for this in the UK? I can watch ten games a week in Australia on Optus sport.

• 
  Alli Mac (@allimac77) reported 7 minutes ago

  @lavosaurus I too am getting a $4/ month increase and extra data on top of the data I never use. So I too will no longer be an @Optus customer.

• 
  Ray (@isDankey) reported 10 minutes ago

  @Optus Any browser. Tried in Chrome and Edge. Also Chrome and Safari on mobile device. It doesn't replicate directly, but I've had to log in once every few days, whereas I never had to re-login pre 2FA. Main problem I am finding is o have to re-start chats on PC browser

  Jana Vents (@VentJana) reported 14 minutes ago

  @davidbewart the Optus lines are mysteriously down whenever they try her

  Harry Harper (@HarryTHarper) reported 14 minutes ago

  @Ryan_stephens57 @perthnow He did. I am not partisan on this issue, Barnett was right. Indeed he got Perth Stadium built. (I will never call it Optus stadium, we payed for it.) The greatest stadium in the world. Lets get this free range zoo going. The best climate and geography in the world for it.

  Dane Berryman (@Dane_Berryman) reported 14 minutes ago

  @chrismayer @Optus I also having same problem when used chat they said known issue

• 
  Rob Frank 🍁🦘 (@rob2victory) reported 17 minutes ago

  @lavosaurus Makes sense to shop around as the Alternative is to pay an extra $11/month for the same service ($4 increase + Optus Sport $7 charge). I'm in the same boat; except I'm not on a contact.
