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

  @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.🤔🤔

  Pat Norman (@pat_norman) reported 11 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.

  @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

  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

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

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

  Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported 30 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @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 ******

• 
  John Raptis (@raptisj68) reported 37 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.

• 
  D R A G A N (@DraganLazik) reported 38 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

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

• 
  Lucia (@lfsleigh) reported 40 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  In the last week or so, I’ve been getting 4-5 spam calls per day. Previously they happened once a month or so. Wonder if it’s got to do with me being an Optus customer and their massive data breach… which I’m still waiting to hear if I’m a part of

  Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported 44 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @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

• 
  Iaen Cordell (@IaenCordell) reported 47 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.

• 
  Alex Dennis🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported 48 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @Optus Yes I get that but it does state on your FAQ's regarding the situation to call and that's the issue - you can't which is absolutely poor performance. Can you confirm when contact will occur as in how many days or weeks till I potentially find out being a former customer?

• 
  Stinger881 (@stinger881) reported 49 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @Optus @RunnerSA18 Why did you not encrypt the customer data table in Teradata? Kelly Bayer Rosmarin is not fit to be CEO. Her track record with the Banking Royal commission at CBA proves she is absolutely incompetent, along with Ian Narev!

  Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported 50 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @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.

  Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported 51 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.

• 
  Alex Dennis🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported 53 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  @Optus I have tried to call your call centre re the hack to see if my info being a former customer and my mum's account still being an active customer was compromised but your call centre is closed. This shouldn't be the case and a dedicated team/number should be available 24/7

  @Jeremy_Kirk I think @Optus is in some deep trouble.

• 
  Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported 59 minutes ago from Sydney, New South Wales

  Current & former Optus customers have had their data stolen. It begs the question, why does Optus keep former customer’s data? #optusfail

  Abel Moarrensis (@CircuitRCAY) reported 48 seconds ago

  Appalling response from @optus after a breach. I didn't hear **** about the breach except through social media. I don't even know if my prepaid account is implicated in this breach, but given all the facts, it's more than likely.

• 
  Steven Georgantis 🇦🇺 (@StevenGeorgant1) reported 1 minute ago

  Optus announces data breach. My question is why are they holding the private details of former customers. Time for govt to ban businesses holding that information to minimise damage if there is a breach.

• 
  Powell's Other Glasses (Ausnotes) 🌸 (@ausnotes) reported 1 minute ago

  @King_Millez @Optus A lower amount of customers ~2.9 million had more confidential data stolen like licenses/passports. If the bulk only had names, emails and numbers stolen it heightens phishing risk but not as terrible.

• 
  MadSci 💡 (@MadScintst) reported 6 minutes ago

  @9NewsAUS As Optus is a telco they are required by law to collect very sensitive information to provide you with a service. Something needs to change here as that just makes Optus an attractive target and they've proven themselves unable to secure data properly.

  Adam (@kels_316) reported 8 minutes ago

  @AndrewBGreene @Optus @ASDGovAu Lol dude WTF?

• 
  Anthony B, (@swearyanthony) reported 10 minutes ago

  @AndrewBGreene @Optus @ASDGovAu Better questions to ask: - Have govt requirements for telcos to hold PII caused unnecessary risk? - Should companies & govt agencies that fail to secure PII suffer actual consequences? - What actually is the point of ASD and ACSC if they can't help secure something like this?

• 
  Optus (@Optus) reported 13 minutes ago

  @shara_evans Hi there, All impacted customers will be contacted directly to advise of the breach, and what Optus is doing to support them - Steven

  @Optus @Medicayy We should have been informed before seeing it via media/social media. Poor form in so many ways @Optus #OptusDataBreach

  Peter from Queensland (@liarabbott) reported 18 minutes ago

  @GladysB accused of stealing @Optus customer details and selling them to Daryl Maguire. Waiting to hear if Daryl sold them for profit! #optus

  Great!...a sign of identity theft is: Strange emails appear in your inbox. Mmm I'd find it stranger at this point if strange emails didn't appear in my inbox! Optus customer here. Eek!
