    @MarkDiStef @LucasBairdAus they want the government to eat their garbage, and lol no. You don't get to be full of garbage like this when you didn't even tell the gov medicare cards were included. Gov is doing the right thing, Optus is trying to cover their arse and limit PR hit, Gov can see through it

  • faey_lyn fæy ✧🍀🐬 (@faey_lyn) reported

    I haven't received any email from @optus since the first one a week ago. I cant get into their customer services, there is no human you can talk to.

  • ScooterAD Scooter Welbourn (@ScooterAD) reported

    @TheShovel Do we think Qantas is responsible for the hack to take some of the bad press away from them and shovel it on to Optus?

  • CWatchcat Cathy (@CWatchcat) reported

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 I finally got you to agree to provide me with the identity and credit protect with Equifax but the promo code you gave me is invalid and I can't get through to your customer service. Please DM me with a valid promo code.

    @andrewsnitch @newscomauHQ Has nothing to do with the Optus breach and storage of customer PII though. It's a third party that Telstra used to use for corporate rewards. And the only data is name and company provided email address.

    @cheryl_kernot Just tried to get help through the app as to exactly what docs were hacked. Their solution -to join up to what I believe may be an Optus company Equifax – requiring me to provide whole lot of identity documents. The ultimate in satire. Optus may be losing me as a customer.
