    @VictorDominello Where - comprehensive advises? You didn't mentioned Equifax-Optus should have notified all impacted Cust 2 register. Why Optus failed to encrypt all these data, never responded to Spam mail received through Optus, ACMA advised ISPs to monitor, Track & block spammers, CEO-Jailed.

  • SecretChimp Merkin Muffley (@SecretChimp) reported

    Optus must be absolutely hammering their server infrastructure, as it currently seems to be running like a 3-legged dog with a broken leg.

    Currently thinking of terminating my optus prepaid plan to swap to a new provider due to horrible lack of support by optus and the data breach **** show. #OptusDataBreach #OptusHack

  • TjornSibma Tjorn Sibma MLC (@TjornSibma) reported

    The @MarkMcGowanMP cheap and sordid decision to sell Perth Stadium's naming rights to @Optus is looking even more terrible now. The contract should be annulled at Optus' expense and the original PERTH name restored #wapol

    @3AWNeilMitchell Optus stuff up Optus responsibility to fix it. Simple enough for even you to be able to understand!

  • hollyhales Holly Hales (@hollyhales) reported

    @heyycourtt i've been banned from being an optus customer since 2016 so, no...

  • Kimmylea4 Kimmylea (@Kimmylea4) reported

    @slamup My mum got ****** over by Optus ages ago due to dumb **** around whether the NBN rollout had or hadn't happened in her area. They left her without internet for months while trying to charge her, until I convinced her to switch provider. Dodo sorted her in 3 days.

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    after 2 or 3 more weeks @optus may be caught up re handling muddle of #databreach - have call back on their call centre for data breach issues - have email support for past customers - have a forum past customers can use - have online chat for past customers
