  • 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.

  • 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).

    @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.

    @SenSHenderson @AlboMP You stupid stupid girl. 9 years of your government has allowed this to happen, and dumb ***** leaving the door open on Optus servers. Nobody else is at fault, abd you know it. You're a waste of carbon.

  • Crackadax 🇦🇺 Greg 🇦🇺 (@Crackadax) reported

    More than 24 hours after one of the largest personal data breaches in Australia's corporate history and I've still heard nothing from #Optus. Surely as a customer we have the right to know what happened and what's been done about it at the very least. 🤔🙄

  • sbooth29 Sharna Nicole 🙈🙉🙊 (@sbooth29) reported

    @saltyskin_ @Optus Oh ****.

  • samr6003 SamR 🌸 (@samr6003) reported

    @jodiehastweeted Thanks for this info Jodie !! I’m scared too - we are not alone. I’m going to do this. I also contacted Optus and found out what ID I had given them and cancelled my Medicare. Doesn’t look like it’s that easy to cancel my drivers license.

  • ksweaver4 Karyn W (@ksweaver4) reported

    @newscomauHQ Optus customer and not one form of correspondence from them to date regarding this breach!

  • munkeygurl munkeygurl (@munkeygurl) reported

    Yo @Optus since everyone else has my email address and phone number now (plus drivers license) it would be nice if you used it and didn’t expect me to go to your website for information. I shouldn’t hear from this **** in the news #OptusDataBreach

  • sirbellabop Mama Goose (@sirbellabop) reported

    Pretty ****** that I'm an Optus customer and today received an email from them with my bill, but had to hear about the data breach on the radio?? (And still haven't heard anything from Optus about it).

  • that_guy19_ Josh (@that_guy19_) reported

    @jacob_633 @Optus Poor bugger. You must feel super reassured tho your login password wasn't compromised lol... just you know, everything else to steal your identity!

  • LisaHay92756018 Lisa Hayes (@LisaHay92756018) reported

    @EddyJokovich @abcnews This is just ridiculous @abcnews. The Optus Cyber attack is not an opinion issue, Dutton has nothing to contribute to this issue. He has no expertise and would not have been briefed. At least interview an IT expert if you can't get the Communications Minister.

    To be clear I’m not excusing Optus here but these problems will continue to happen when Government demands ridiculous retention requirements
