  • ollie_bo Ollie Roberts (@ollie_bo) reported from Hobart, State of Tasmania

    @Optus @NBN_Australia Currently on hold to Optus & online chat. We’ve been told the relocation request we put in doesn’t exist, even though it is in multiple chat threads with Optus who said they’d arrange this. They recognised that our service was previously working, just not with the speed boost WTF

  • ollie_bo Ollie Roberts (@ollie_bo) reported from Hobart, State of Tasmania

    @NBN_Australia An update: called @Optus who transferred us to @NBN_Australia who then told us that there is an outage in the Sandy Bay (Tasmania) area and that the internet would be on in 4 hours (9pm last night). 9pm has been and gone. Standard troubleshooting, eg reboot hardware, etc & nada!

    @doctormcdougall @Optus I got this today too. Glad they are getting ahead of the game on this one. You can never be to quick to let people know when their personal info has been hacked, even when you aren't a customer and haven't been for 5 years or more.

  • TassieBooks Bookaholic (@TassieBooks) reported

    @MoarToast @Optus I got an email yesterday saying "as a former customer". I have a current phone service with them...

  • ReeDiamond2 Ree Diamond (@ReeDiamond2) reported

    I hope our stupid government don't only look in to the 'security at the banks' for this optus thing .. what about ID theft ?

  • kels_316 Adam (@kels_316) reported

    Thank **** that since having this Optus account I got a new DL in a different state so at least that’s one bit of data they can’t ******* leak.

  • AustinDocherty Austin Docherty (@AustinDocherty) reported

    @TheMaskedUnit @MoarToast @Optus Are no no longer a customer? It mentions “former account”.

  • erinrileyau Erin Riley (@erinrileyau) reported

    I thought we were safe from the Optus problem, but I forgot we had Optus broadband for one year when we were in Panania.

  • sam__rye Sam Rye (@sam__rye) reported

    @_sarahbarns @Optus Legally it has to be kept for 6 years, but that obviously doesn’t cover your case. The likelihood is it’s such a pervasive breach and their security protocols are so bad they simply don’t know and have emailed everyone who *could* have been compromised…

  • fictillius Sagittarius (Sgr) A* (@fictillius) reported

    The last time I was an Optus customer I didn’t have a drivers license 💅🏼

  • finishedlast 💉💉💉Steppin' Razor 🔪 (@finishedlast) reported

    @transient_mind Or other providers do port in credits for Optus customers. Which I think will happen BTL. The number has gotta be new to that customer, doesn't have to be brand new unused - just break the association. Could spin breached Cust to breached Cust and not run out.

  • AdrianMalec Adrian Malec (@AdrianMalec) reported

    @davesag @Jeremy_Kirk They actually need to retain that data as per s187C of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979, for the lifetime of the service and for 2 years following its termination. Where Optus failed was protecting that information from unauthorised access.
