    @agarner @MacdonellFiona Optus should be hit with a class action sued for billions. Somebody was trying to save money and time by linking a live database to a test network. Optus are going to prey on people‘s IT naivete to get away with this, when they tried to save money and time.

  • CommBank CommBank (@CommBank) reported

    We are constantly monitoring for any customer information associated with data-breaches, including the most recent Optus breach. Our intelligence monitoring systems run 24/7/365, allowing us to identify at-risk customers prior to an attack.

    @Optus has no contact email so here's my feedback. Got your letter about you failing to keep my private data safe. I don't care the Optus network is fine I care that u didn't invest in better security Don't tell me to monitor my life bc of your fail. Tell me my next bill is $0.

    For those with Optus, I am with TPG, have had no real issues. Cheap, $49.99 a month, covers all internet access.

  • BinkiiBear Bianca 🦄 (@BinkiiBear) reported

    Should I become a victim of identity theft or fraud, will @Optus be held liable? Because the details that have been taken are very much enough to do a lot of damage. And it’s not like I can actually change any of it. 2/3

    @beigewash @lesstenny @Optus Sony **** down the PSN for 3 weeks in 2011 when they got hacked

  • joannamuses Joanna Holman (@joannamuses) reported

    This Optus hack got anyone else panicking about everywhere else you'd ever provided drivers licence or passport details to check into a hotel or register for a service?

  • jr_p30 The silent investor (@jr_p30) reported

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 You incompetent morons have lost me as a customer.. GFS

  • Joshy206 Joshy (@Joshy206) reported

    The Optus hack is a great example of why people who say stuff like "if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide" are full of ****

  • JayMG2205 Jaywalker Blue (@JayMG2205) reported

    @lesstenny Optus not just because of their lack of cyber security, their customer service is effin woeful.
