    @RavenZech2 @Optus The government allowed these pigs to RORT us. It's called fascism. Any telco is vulnerable and the laws protect them not us. Best we can do is cancel and bankrupt the business. Perhaps the others will get the message. The gov will take years to change privacy legislation.

    @Optus Can someone please help me snd reply to my DM? I cannot get support any other way!

  • CountessAu Countess 🍸 (@CountessAu) reported

    @theage I'm using my lunch hour to got to Service Tas for a new licence, along with dozens of others. Will invoice @optus for work time lost.

  • DarkMatterzine DMZ: 😷 💉 💉 💉 💉 (@DarkMatterzine) reported

    @morrisd3_dm @joshgnosis the fundamental problem, however, is that Optus was allowed to require unnecessary documents for new account holders AND kept copies of those documents on a server AND kept that server connected to the internet. The breach was inevitable and the basic problem needs to be fixed.

  • turnip502 turnip50 (@turnip502) reported

    @joshgnosis @PatsKarvelas HAHA, more stupidity; what do you expect if you leave a server 'open', without even passwords? The hacker should be appointed head of OPTUS IT; he is better than the fools and morons there. As ever with bad businesses the CEO and Board stay when they should be sacked.

    I think it’s a sad indictment on a technology company, Optus, when resource stretched public service outfit, Services Australia, beats them in proactive sense of urgency and customer service. Unbelievable. Optus seems concerned with cya self preservation.

  • fs_kev Kevin Ferguson-smith (@fs_kev) reported

    Like to say as an Optus customer I have a lack of trust in the telco as far as I’m concerned that shouldn’t have happened

  • AriiaLux Aria the Bunni Girl 🐰 ⚢ 🏳️‍⚧️ (@AriiaLux) reported

    Data privacy laws need so SERIOUS ******* reform in Australia. I haven't been an Optus customer for over 4 years but they still hold my personal data, and efforts to get it removed aren't going well. **** you Optus.

  • recneps51 Komrade (@recneps51) reported

    Optus have been charging me $2.20 monthly for using BPay and not Direct Debit. I complained and rejected a one off waiver and said I was going to ombudsman. They rang back today offered 12 months waiver. Offer withdrawn if I go to ombudsman. Lodge complaint with ombudsman people.

    @karenandrewsmp Optus has the call Karen. Last heard the minister had waited days for requested data from Optus which had not been then provided. Stop defending your mates at Optus. Worst telco in Australia before this happened. Now....
