    So, this whole Optus data breach is just great - as a past customer, all my details, bar payment stuff, are out there so here goes trying to make sure nothing is done to me identity theft-wise - what fun 🙄

  • ravirockks Ravi Nayyar (@ravirockks) reported

    My take on the Optus data breach: I’m thrilled that a critical infrastructure asset operator only suffered a PII breach, not a disruptive event (whether malicious/non-malicious*). And shut it down + let the authorities and the public know.

  • dingomeow Dingo Meow~ (@dingomeow) reported

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 Due to your weak risk management and communication. People are going to get scammed and ID stolen very soon, even those whose without high risk information being leaked, could still risk clicking on scam text, which cover up by using this incident.

    @BenFordhamLive @trevorlong I'm with Optus. Cyber attack was on 21st. They notified media late yesterday & won't be sending emails or MSM to customers unless the customer's details are compromised. This is another reason to resist the global push for a Digital ID system. Scary!😨

    Being a long time customer of @Optus am very disappointed I have received no email or message regarding the breach and hacking. Thank you media for the alert #Optus #optusfail

    🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 “If you are an Optus customer, your name, date of birth, phone number, email addresses may have been released.”

  • lukaszzz_ Serenity now.... (@lukaszzz_) reported

    @Optus What are the chances of all the customer details that have been hacked will now get their information used for identity theft?

  • AusBravo DP - Mike Bravo (@AusBravo) reported

    @RavenZech2 They don't. This lays squarely at the feet of @Optus Sarah Henderson has absolutely no idea how the backbone of a network functions / operates. Spreading misinformation is all she's doing n trying to take some heat off her friend being investigated for corruption aka Gladbags.
