  • mintomusings Karen Smith (@mintomusings) reported

    If the guy interviewed @abcnews left @optus & @medibank years ago, why do they still have his data? There needs to be laws that require companies to destroy people’s personal details when it’s no longer needed, especially if you’re no longer a customer. #hacking

  • ririchy0 Sam (@ririchy0) reported

    lol @instagram suspended my account assuming i'm impersonating someone else... i assume this has got to be an issue with the optus recent cyber attack - very annoying i can't even contact ig with their technically issues

  • cazzam83 Carol (@cazzam83) reported

    @Optus Considering it's taking a while (was told issue began 30th Sep) i had number share working on 9th Oct with Watch3, i was then gifted a Watch5 and after following your instructions on removing and adding new profile my issue still remains. While the expert tried everything

  • ps5pro Tube (@ps5pro) reported

    @Optus Maintenance again! Maintained in my area 5 or 6 times in last 6 months, each time lasted 2 weeks. And leaked my personal info. Customer service in the app is talking to the air. Great Optus. You know what a desperation is? Mobiles and internet service all with you!

  • Jeremy_Kirk Jeremy Kirk (@Jeremy_Kirk) reported

    Analysis: This brings us in line with Europe's GDPR. Unfortunately it doesn't undo the last weeks' damage (and won't be applied retroactively). I'd also like to see law that requires orgs to bear costs of replacing ID docs, which the gov't pushed @optus to do. #auspol #InfoSec

  • glover_billie Billie Glover 💉🌺 (@glover_billie) reported

    @PaulFletcherMP Well as a former Optus exec and former minister for communications you would know whether Optus provides internet services for Centrelink & Medibank From your comment I assume Optus transmits unencrypted customer data across the internet

  • epistemophagy moby dickgirl 👻 (@epistemophagy) reported

    The three entities were: 1. Singtel Optus, Australia's second-largest mobile carrier, with the same attack used here 2. Medibank Private, one of Australia's largest health insurance companies, with AFAIK an undisclosed attack 3. an unnamed employment service provider (ESP)

  • shaunst_au Shaun Steenkamp (@shaunst_au) reported

    @Jeremy_Kirk @Optus Finally. Hopefully the enforcement provisions don't get watered down or made too difficult to execute.

  • Nomoreb01245451 Nomorebullshit (@Nomoreb01245451) reported

    9/ another person from Optus customer relations told me I would need to create a new email and cancel my current equifax to get a credit (no attempt from Optus to come up with the many customers like me that proactively tried to secure their ID after Optus refused to help)

    @ServiceNSW How do you know you’ve been breached ? I’m an ex-Optus customer.
