    There are lots of carriers that use the Optus network to provide internet and telephone. Includes Aldi cards and others, I think. Are any of those accounts at risk? Does anyone know?

  • JoeBlackswan joe blackswan (@JoeBlackswan) reported

    @BellTowerTimes I quite like "the craypot" moniker. I never use Optus Stadium, most people are not sure where a stadium is when the frequently changed naming rights sponsor is used.

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    found @optus will have to pay $1Bn to cover: 1) $179/y Equifax, 2) $29 for new driver's licence 3) $159 for new passport * 2.8M - #databreach expense is close to closing down Optus - much cheaper to hire a security officer for $100K (1/10000 of expense of data breach)

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    so @optus will fight to not pay any compensation for 2.8M with #databreach identity compromise so they don't close down but courts may decide to close them when they declare bankruptcy

  • BennSocialist Scott Taylor (@BennSocialist) reported

    @Optus if you don’t respond to my request to know *exactly* what data you held on my account, you will no longer have a customer. I’ve received one email, which contains no specific information on what data has been compromised. Get. Busy.

  • 8x8a_m M (@8x8a_m) reported

    Reports suggest Optus had an application programming interface (API) available online that did not require authorisation or authentication to access customer data. This is plain stupid!!! #OPTUS

  • sammymac21 Sammy Mac (@sammymac21) reported

    Dear @Optus, your internet is terrible on Hamilton Island! I'm already disappointed that you leaked my data and now, when I'm trying to watch the @aus_opals it's not possible even on <480p....

    @abc730 @ClareONeilMP The Optus fkup proves that privatisation of essential services like this is an EXTREMELY bad idea. What if we were at War and some treasonous oligarch decided it was worth their while selling all our info to the enemy?

  • neonsignal Glenn McIntosh (@neonsignal) reported

    bit rich for #ausgov to force telcos to retain sensitive data yet take zero responsibility for the security implications - not to excuse #Optus, but the problem is systemic

  • TimMelbourne2 TimMelbourne (@TimMelbourne2) reported

    @hughriminton Optus wouldn't know how many of us were affected. They wont help anyone, it's an Optus circus. Let alone Vic Roads trying to get your license replaced.
