    @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

  • Granville4879 💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

  • virgotweet Stuart Tomlinson (@virgotweet) reported

    Bad service, slow at fixing their customers problems and being negligent by failing to secure their network which allowed it to be cyber attacked by hackers who now have access to over 9 million Optus customers details.

  • nunthewizer53 🦞🐀🍩🗣🙏🏻👣💧nunthewizer (@nunthewizer53) reported

    @iDcareAUNZ Victims of Optus. Experian easy to cancel, 21 days, on line and offered to notify others. I was breached by Bunnings click and collect dec 2021 also. Pwned checked by chance, no notification 🤨

  • PataudSandra Sandra Pataud (@PataudSandra) reported

    @Optus @wyliecomms The app IS NOT WORKING.

  • TRr4M1 TRr4M (@TRr4M1) reported

    @Optus "upon discovering this, optus immediately shut down the attack" ***** 11.2 million API calls don't happen "immediately"

  • gavinnouwens Gavin Nouwens (@gavinnouwens) reported

    @SenSHenderson @SkyNewsAust Given that this 'hack' now appears to be a total failure from Optus leaving the door wide open to customer data, we should be pushing for legislation that punishes companies that do the wrong thing. Would you support this?

  • mitchbarten Mitchell Barten (@mitchbarten) reported

    And when I say personal information, I mean drivers licences, passport numbers, Medicare numbers. Basically whatever you used for 100 point ID to sign up to Optus they stored for some stupid reason (legally they’re only supposed to keep it for as long as verification takes)

  • PataudSandra Sandra Pataud (@PataudSandra) reported

    @Optus @degauserry The app IS NOT WORKING.

  • GavinWakeupint1 Gavilarr 🍸☮️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤💛❤️ (@GavinWakeupint1) reported

    So Optus still has not even contacted any customers regarding the security breach. I had to contact them instead to ask why?? They are apparently still in the process of contacting affected customers after how many days?? They have no problems issuing their bills however. #fail

  • Smushster 🕯️ Smush 🕯️ (@Smushster) reported

    @BLShiv @Jeremy_Kirk Yeah, sick. Still feels like buck stops with Optus for having said **** interface to begin with... ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • EndLivExport 🇦🇺MyHusbandThinksImSecty (@EndLivExport) reported

    @PeterTOWNSV1LLE Shocking that this happened in the first place. You would think it would be a priority to invest in cyber security, obviously it is not important and profit is. I’m with Telstra but I feel for all those who are an Optus customer.
