Optus Issues Reports Near Cowes, State of Victoria

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Cowes and nearby locations:

  • ShaneBryan_IT Shane Bryan (@ShaneBryan_IT) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I think better wording is needed for the #optus incident. My understanding is that it wasn’t a hack, it wasn’t a breach, nor an attack & that the data was leaked through incompetence. I’m still reading articles about it mentioning terms such as “firewall” in ways implying a hack.

  • Burgo0806 Courtney (@Burgo0806) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @me_dc Yep me too! I haven’t been an Optus customer for 2 years!

  • bazhousecat Baz (@bazhousecat) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    If we’ve learnt anything from the Optus debacle, it’s that you should never hire Gladys Berejiklian for anything.

  • doc_eggbert doc eggbert (@doc_eggbert) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra What kind of offers you got for @optus customers who were hacked? #OptusHack Been a loyal customer 12 years (3 x phones). Jumping ship coz it can happen again.

  • ajobbins Adam Jobbins (@ajobbins) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @seemsforever Yeah, I've been the information risk owner of large, externally facing systems like this and it's the nightmare situation. But reading how the hack was done, it's crazy that Optus didn't know about this vulnerability, or if they did and didn't fix it....😬

  • CooperCodes Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Amata_georgeii @Optus Yeah I’m gonna try reissue my DL number and cancel my Passport so they don’t connect to anything. Other than that it’s a mess

  • shiraj_sen Shiraj Sen (@shiraj_sen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus having internet issues and tried calling you guys but your technical support department is closed? What the? Can you please get back to me asap so I can have my internet back? #optusfail

  • CooperCodes Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Optus and Qantas really fighting for that “worst company in Australia” award.

  • Stanleysmum1 Stanleysmum (Sharon) (@Stanleysmum1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I've received one email from Optus (My bill) and today have (so far) had 15 spam/robocallers. All reported but how bad will this get before you take action. What guarantees will you put in place to ensure my passport and licence details aren't sold off to the highest bidder?

  • AuspiciousTimes Claire 包玉思🏅🥈🥇🥉🥇🥇🥉🥇💉💉💉 (@AuspiciousTimes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Biggest surprise about @Optus disaster is they had customers. Poor support, woeful service. I took them to ombudsman twice about 11/12 years ago. They couldn't re-establish my phone connections for TWO MONTHS despite a simple word in code change as a fix. #PayCompensationOptus

  • CooperCodes Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Amata_georgeii @Optus The number isn’t so much of an issue, it’s the rest of the information that got leaked. I’m changing because this is the second security breach they’ve had and this one is exceptionally bad.

  • enespana1 enespana (@enespana1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Asher_Wolf @Bredgens @wheelswordsmith I msg Optus on their help platform - they have automated message saying there is delay in responding. Then they message 15min later repeating question and asking to confirm. Then they close the conversation when I don’t respond within a couple of minutes. Happened 2x already🙄

  • mflbg Michael (@mflbg) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @DrKate_Miller @emmaandollie @Optus I’m an ex customer from 2 years ago and my data was in the hack. What should I ask for as compensation?

  • GlennHampson Glenn Hampson (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I take my Optus email is part of the data hack given the **** emails and sms that have risen significantly in the past 48 hours

  • suessaints Susanna (@suessaints) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @vicroads please change your rules re licence replacement. Optus customers should not have to wait for a fraud to occur to be allowed to change their driver’s licences! It’s bad enough to have the data breach. @DanielAndrewsMP @Optus 1/2

  • EmJaeCaer Michael Carmody (@EmJaeCaer) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @riskybusiness Just in time for the Optus breach to be released. We need to end your reign of terror Patrick, our incident responders can only take so much.

  • jonathonnunan Jonathon Nunan (@jonathonnunan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    BROKEN NEWS:: John Barilaro to be appointed as OPTUS Head of Cyber Security.

  • CooperCodes Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @VicRoads @VicGovDoT Just change the license numbers please and issue new ones. And charge that back to Optus thanks.

  • jonathonnunan Jonathon Nunan (@jonathonnunan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @nadinevoncohen @patrickkeneally Only contact I've had from Optus has been apologies for our NBN dropping out. Which is roughly about ten times a day. But hey, who could have foreseen the copper technology solution not being up to the job?

  • WAppleyard Winston Appleyard 🌈 (@WAppleyard) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @alisoncroggon As I am also an Optus customer I await..

  • 96Mrbsa Stuart Bland (@96Mrbsa) reported

    @james00000001 I'm an ex-customer and I'm just hanging out for the class action, action. I've already expressed interest in the Optus one and am just waiting for my bank to get hacked.

  • androuryan R KAYSAR (@androuryan) reported

    @9NewsAUS This is what these companies get when they under-budget IT Services and focus on Sales. Idiots at the top of the chain treat IT as a "cost" to the company, I've seen this 1st hand. Ask the Head of IT Security at Medibank or Optus on their budget. #optusdatabreach #medibankhack

  • rbozinovski Robert Bozinovski (@rbozinovski) reported

    Though, I wonder whether Medibank will introduce steps to hinder those seeking to transfer, just as @Optus was reported to have interceded with those seeking to leave after its hacking / data breach incident.

  • GGamer0 Nick (@GGamer0) reported

    @EmJaeCaer I think it also comes down to meeting the customer demands when opposing companies are offer X services which entice customers, putting pressure on companies such as Optus to allocate the majority of their resources to build that new services instead of migrating a legacy app…

  • autumnfall098 Zainab (@autumnfall098) reported

    @Fanpointofviews Ind need a LHB in the middle. Axar might be vulnerable with the ball but that batting just lineup will be in trouble vs SA at Optus. Need someone to attack Maharaj.

  • MediaActive Peter Clarke (@MediaActive) reported

    The @medibank hack is appalling & utterly reprehensible. These large service corporations incl @Optus typically charge like wounded bulls, are ornery & condescending to deal with, clearly spend insufficient on rock solid #data security then sell us customers out? Disgusted.

  • asafebet_ bel (@asafebet_) reported

    hi hackers that have access to my medibank and optus stuff can u pls help me find out why am i so depressed and maybe transfer me a million dollars maybe send consensual boob pics too idk

  • questionabubble Tara-Leigh (@questionabubble) reported

    @jaydeem Me too. A family members bank account was almost hacked, that card was linked to her Optus account. Luckily her bank shut it down and flagged it as fraud. They even told her it could be a result of the data breach apparently. Just crazy.

  • thethorpstar Matt (@thethorpstar) reported

    @Optus could you please provide the on shore number that as a business customer I can call as no one is able to call in on my mobile and the two people I have spoken to overseas have been absolutely useless

  • Its_Kickaa It's Kickaa (@Its_Kickaa) reported

    Hey all! Hoping to get back into streaming next week if @Optus can get their **** together and fix my internet
