  • WendyLiwendi Wendi🔆Li (@WendyLiwendi) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @KateMannell As an Optus customer I’ve received their alert email but dunno what I as an individual could do 🥲

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

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

  • 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

  • stirlospace 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚘.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌e (@stirlospace) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @OccupyMyGov Optus is already a pejorative here at Our House “oh no my phone has gone all optus’y” @infinitereality hopefully an actual isP or someone who can deploy a real network can take over once ACCC are done. False “5G” and “internet” ads 🤥 LYINN.

  • karan_white_ Karan White 🌱 (@karan_white_) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews I'm an @Optus customer, but not for much longer. Haven't had any additional comms beyond the initial email.

  • mikjcal Mick (@mikjcal) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Watching the news I was reminded how in May I was on a road trip through country Victoria. I was given **** cause my phone didn’t have signal, and I had to beg to hotspot for a bit. “Just go with Optus” one said - well, I’m glad I ignored that advice and stayed with Vodafone🤭

  • casimugh crandle (@casimugh) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Optus data hack reeks of a nerdy 14 year old that’s been banned from the PS4 so had to find entertainment elsewhere and accidentally got in trouble with his parents/the AFP

  • CostaLambrou Constantinos Lambrou (@CostaLambrou) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @cokeefe9 @Raf_Epstein @9NewsAUS They can do whatever they want, if I anybody is hacked it’s insurance issue between the bank and Optus

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • SeigeCeej ⭐️⭐️⭐️Ceej⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@SeigeCeej) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @SammySatine As an Optus customer I am worried .. but I can change passwords and cancel things if I must and put blocks on all things

  • 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

  • danielbowen Daniel Bowen (@danielbowen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I was an Optus broadband customer until 2019. No contact from them yet. Wondering if I’m safe or not.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • tmwwthere Andrew Watson (@tmwwthere) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    10am yesterday @Optus told me over the phone that my info wasn’t caught up in the breach. By the end of the day I received an email saying my info has been breached. No way of trusting #optus - haven’t been a customer of theirs since 2018. @SlaterGordon bring on the class action

  • sitegeister John Ryan (@sitegeister) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Why should Optus pay fines? If you’re a customer, maybe retrospectively pay higher bills and ask for assurances and guarantee.They just did what any shareholder-driven multinational is actually tasked with doing.

  • 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.

  • nick_komo Niko (@nick_komo) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @MrXBob @Matt92644813 @9NewsMelb Hmm i would of thought CEOs on the big bucks had some influence into important decisions. Anyway you are getting a bit too aggressive for a non optus customer. So move on 🙋 #OptusHack

  • Brodhe B (@Brodhe) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    If you are, or if you hypothetically would have been, an Optus customer, how worried about the data breach are you?

  • BeerKristy Kristy Beer (@BeerKristy) reported

    @shaun_moshniki @Optus I mean I got myself into this mess, I’m not disputing the amount I have to pay, but to not help with a payment extension when it was a LOT more than I anticipated, especially when money I was expecting didn’t come - where’s the help? The understanding?! I just need extra TIME!

  • simopotato simon tait (@simopotato) reported

    The irony....sitting in an Optus store trying to cancel a service and waiting on hold for 20 minutes while optus technicians stand around doing nothing because they don't have the authority to cancel the service!

  • NathanO48726549 Nathan Osborne (@NathanO48726549) reported

    @Optus @danielricciardo @scottyjames31 **** the cricket, fix your trash *** NBN network, it's ******* pathetic

  • duncanmcdonnell Duncan McDonnell (@duncanmcdonnell) reported

    Ah, another evening having to hotspot my phone (and pay for using extra data) because @Telstra don't actually provide the service I pay them for. @Optus, can you give me something better in West End, Brisbane?

  • LeashUnleashed Alicia B (@LeashUnleashed) reported

    @Optus What update? There is no update. Nobody has bothered to contact me since then, I still have no phone because you've bricked my Sim card, my 12yo's prepaid number was still never activated. Never got my "20 mins" call back from the last pointless phone call that was 3 days ago.

  • Tekmarrr Tekmarr  (@Tekmarrr) reported

    Anyones net so bad with optus for the past few days

  • BeerKristy Kristy Beer (@BeerKristy) reported

    @shaun_moshniki @Optus It’s a LARGE amount. In an effort to cut down monthly bills, I cancelled a iPad contract meaning I had to pay out the iPad. No worries, $800 on top of bill. But @Optus also cancelled the ACCESSORIES (I didn’t ask for that) adding $400 on top of the $800 to pay out!

  • Michael63321388 Michael (@Michael63321388) reported

    @TwitterSupport As I asked why can't I see the replys and only a load of Optus ****

  • the_howie Howie (@the_howie) reported

    @norbs Optus. Blackout in most of my suburb

  • gdayolly Bee (@gdayolly) reported

    @Telstra Given the sheer number of other tweets about this issue, I would hazard you're well aware it's not any of the above. Why do you not have an antenna for the Westfield? Friends on the Optus network had no issue.
