    @georgetweets2u @Optus It’s so disappointing. It’s always the customer that has to pay for the company’s mistakes.

  • kayleen87686977 kay - 5th Estate Reporting for Duty (@kayleen87686977) reported

    @DeanRosario @Optus VIC roads are refusing to issue them

  • GreatZack000 ooloo (@GreatZack000) reported

    How can we sue Optus for leaking all the private info. Passport, driving license, etc etc. They must held responsible to poor management of cyber security.

  • djshotty69 DJ Shotty (@djshotty69) reported

    @VaperNt @Optus Yet I'm perpetually stunned by the idiots who'll click on such a link, even though they've never held an account with the institution in the message. The lack of common sense is astonishing to say the least, so all I *will* say is, "If you get ripped off, serve yourself right!"

  • cherniTweet Cherni (@cherniTweet) reported

    @Raf_Epstein @Optus @ClareONeilMP Well... Wouldn't that need to be changed here? Part of the problem is the privacy act wet lettuce fine and enforcement. Do a GDPR style and risk of fines will become an issue for corporations

  • KRMFILM Kori Reay-Mackey (@KRMFILM) reported

    So Optus got hacked and the alternative is a company which charges extortionate prices and another who apparently seems to have consistent network issues Open to suggestions, folks

  • VaperNt 🇦🇺 Northern Territory Seniors for THR (@VaperNt) reported

    @djshotty69 @Optus While we don't have any account with ANZ, there are older Australians that just don't understand the online world. They're not idiots but are forced into technology by today's demands. I help them when I can.

  • djshotty69 DJ Shotty (@djshotty69) reported

    @VaperNt @Optus All I'm saying is that there's people who deserve to be scammed because they're too stupid to look at the details of what they've been sent then say to themselves, "I'll delete this rubbish because I know that I haven't got an account with Bank XYZ"

  • David_Paul_B David P (@David_Paul_B) reported

    @cameronwilson @ByClare That is odd wording … Personally I would’ve gone with - “Please note that any communications from Optus relating to this incident will not include any links….”

  • bootrino bootrino (@bootrino) reported

    Optus wasn't hacked. They simply left all the customer records at the front door for anyone to pick up.
