  • Granville4879 Granville#AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @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).

  • 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.

    @andrew_the_pom @Optus It's like customers expect every thing to overturned and redone from the ground floor because of an issue not of their doing.

  • 3AWNeilMitchell Neil Mitchell (@3AWNeilMitchell) reported

    Will the Andrews government PLEASE see hiw proactive other states have been on the issue of Optus and license detail. People are rightly worried . Help them.

  • BilboBa77842165 Bilbo Baggins (@BilboBa77842165) reported

    @PaulFletcherMP Had a decade in power doing nothing but now trying to avoid responsibility for all that rubbish. Speaking of which, apparently as Communications Minister your Dept minimised Optus' security testing requirements in 2020? As an Optus customer I am livid - pure LNP incompetence!

  • missmaddi Maddi Rose (@missmaddi) reported

    Hi @Optus, I’m not really keen on paying my phone bill just came out today. Help a sister out.

  • timburrowes Tim Burrowes - Unmade (@timburrowes) reported

    Optus's dispute with cyber security minister Clare O'Neil was not worth having. Better to roll over on the question of how basic the attack was. It was bad luck for the public affairs team that portfolios changed with the new government and they probably lacked key relationships

  • SallyLawry 💧Sally Lawry (@SallyLawry) reported

    How much work have state govts and public servants had to do to issue new driver’s licence numbers? How much inconvenience has Optus caused to customers because of slack security ? Not good enough Optus

  • _SocialDemocrat Leftwing Bastard (@_SocialDemocrat) reported

    @adamliaw It’s a quick fix before charging the expense to Optus.

  • imsickoffthink brascoe (@imsickoffthink) reported

    @SenPaterson @Birmo Why ******** doesn’t Optus pay for all of this ****. After 9yrs your still a *******

  • Nobody_But_M3 Nobody. (@Nobody_But_M3) reported

    @berthon_jones I worked at Telstra. We had (some) customer data in dev/test environments (which is where the Optus leak occurred) There is chronic underinvestment in data masking for development environments... In many large orgs.

  • Plankoda Plankoda (@Plankoda) reported

    @Abraxas444 @Jeremy_Kirk Yes. Ridiculous. It’s just more grandstanding. Any Optus customer from 2017 to now should be permitted an immediate replacement.
