Optus Issues Reports Near Cowes, State of Victoria

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

  • 2020digging Bo Reidler (@2020digging) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @abcnews Patterson reckons companies make errors? This is unadulterated negligence. @Optus has failed in their *legal* responsibility to keep their customers’ data safe. APP11. Penny pinching on security while dishing it out for incompetent executives is a recipe for disaster.

  • methylnick Nick Wong AU/MEL (@methylnick) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @AntoBeck @Optus Damn. I did not get this. 😭

  • 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

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

    @somewherein84 Or insta! I saw a woman yesterday who blamed Dan for Penny Wong requesting Optus pay for the replacement passports etc 🤯I shouldn't have lowered myself to her level but I couldn't help myself

  • sbmcd Stephen McDonald (@sbmcd) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus #OptusDataBreach so my partner who was a customer with you in 2016 has been notified about the data breach, but I was a customer up to a year ago and still can’t find out if my data has been compromised.

  • rocky1622 Brian Humphries (@rocky1622) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @lynlinking @WgarNews L am glad not Optus customer

  • 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.

  • Scruff_Edges Scruff_Around_the_Edges (@Scruff_Edges) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Wtf is a try guy and no I won't google it, I don't wanna be embarrassed in front of the Optus Hacker.

  • scousehelen Scouse Helen(Helen Drinoczky) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@scousehelen) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus The saga goes on. A 4+ hours wait up to now on the app and still no nearer to getting my question answered. 24/7 help advertised but no mention of how long the wait is!

  • justinjonesblog Justin Jones (@justinjonesblog) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    It’s the “Dear Justin” to “Dear Customer” for me. This really looks like a suss email that is doing Optus zero favours. #OptusHack #OptusDataBreach #Optus

  • PetraElliott Time Traveller then/now (@PetraElliott) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @davenlamb Yep. Same wording. Granted i haven’t been a customer of optus in just shy of 20 years. So I wouldn’t be on a current mailing list. But my date of birth and phone number hasn’t changed in that time and I obviously can’t change/get a new DOB. It’s just super poor form overall

  • raymond3020 Adam Gemmell (@raymond3020) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I received your email saying my license and passport was given as part of your breach. No further comms. Your website says I should have received a sms that was sent to all that has had their ID docs leaked. Silence! Been an Optus customer for 17 years. Not much longer

  • 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

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

    @nicenuts @Itsrustyruss @Optus I can just imagine Deborah and Alan Boomer going in there and losing their **** at the poor staff who had zero to do with it. I feel sorry for the workers in retail. Retail is already a **** job, then you have this on top of it.

  • kelseyvh @kelseyvh (@kelseyvh) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus I’m having nbn service issues. Your online messaging service is not responding. You network status page says “under investigation” and has said that for three days. I’ve sent you a DM but no response there either.

  • 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

  • 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 🥲

  • morrisd3_dm Morabeets 🇺🇦 (@morrisd3_dm) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @DarkMatterzine @joshgnosis Even if the documents were necessary they should never have been placed in an insecure situation. If the API's access was exhaustive Optus was stuffed from the get go.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • EvilStephMum SAB (@EvilStephMum) reported

    @Optus is your coverage down? Please update your paying customers.

  • Gojoyjet Joy (@Gojoyjet) reported

    @thornberrylara @Optus They never really answer why this is happening or do anything to fix it, do they? It's driving me nuts at the moment and I am starting the (long) process of migrating all of my linked accounts away from Optusnet.

  • ellouiseefaith Ellouise⁷ | Okay, and? (@ellouiseefaith) reported

    So uh Optus or Telstra... yall wanna sort ya **** out and collab with bts as well or? Legit will drop a shidddd load of money xo

  • dragonshotty ꜱʏꜰᴀᴅᴇ (@dragonshotty) reported

    @AilisMCGG My net randomly **** itself and Optus can’t do anything about it I went from 18 upload speed to 4

  • FearTheFallen AZ (@FearTheFallen) reported

    @georgie874 I’m rocking 3G in the SE suburbs cause Optus are awful 😩

  • EvilStephMum SAB (@EvilStephMum) reported

    @Optus Already done. Look into your customer service bot responses ‘Serena’

  • WhiteW2Sugars Displaced Texan (@WhiteW2Sugars) reported

    @Optus I was online with your messaging service for an hour with 3 different people only to be told to check the website for your plans. That's where I started and then was told to use messaging because your system couldn't find my details.

  • 50_Billion_ppl Stirling (@50_Billion_ppl) reported

    @jamesworrell Damn, we might have had something like that near by, but no power out or anything, all the lights on ours is still going but Optus is telling us it's a nbn problem so have to wait for them to do something about it

  • lauren_ferri lauren ferri 🌻 (@lauren_ferri) reported

    Just another reason I'll NEVER sign up for @Optus again - cancelled NBN just to be met with a $224 modem fee I didn't even know existed and was never told about :) cheers, u suck x

  • OneBlueUmbrella Blue (18+ only) (@OneBlueUmbrella) reported

    Hey @Optus I’ve spent far too long trying to cancel my NBN installation appointment and I STILL keep getting notifications that someone will be here tomorrow. I. WON’T. BE. HOME. You’d better not charge me for this appointment which I NO LONGER WANT OR NEED.
