    @Optus sorry to hear about the cyberattack. I just got the email from Kelly. I haven't been a customer for over a year. Can you explain your data retention policy? Why were you storing sensitive, personal information about me. How long are you keeping it for?

    @Optus My Optus app isn’t working. For past 2 days trying to activate my international roaming add on, but the app keeps crashing. Reason give by the call centre: data breach. Absolutely diabolical. Post data breach services are not working properly.

    @Scamwatch_gov Having been affected by the Optus fiasco how can I stop credit applications? The useless credit savvy says I can block my account. I never gave them permission in the first place! I want to be notified of applications. Please advise

  • BuzzoDr Dr Buzzo (@BuzzoDr) reported

    @Optus @rico_wallaby In the coming days Optus will come out blaming their customers for the breach. They blame the customer for everything else they do wrong.

  • *********** Grrr Purr 🎗 (@***********) reported

    @SBSNews So, will Optus be shut down permanently for endangering the lives of half the Australian population? Will police violently take Optus executives into custody? Why are corporations exempt from Rule of Law; and free to live forever at our expense?

    @lesstenny @Optus That sucks. Hopefully your bank will help. But it is the inconvenience and time consuming job of having to change everything.
