    re #OptusHack reforms, both these things can be true: 1. government regulation meant that Optus is keeping more data than is necessary to track crime. 2. Optus hoarded data beyond what was required; data hyper-collection should be cracked down on or disincentivised

    @ServiceNSW Will be leaving @Optus after this but that still doesn’t help as they keep info forever. Great data laws we have here in Aus…NOT #OptusHack

  • bmcevoy Ben McEvoy (@bmcevoy) reported

    @SamTrevor380 @domknight @Optus They're required by law to store for up to 6 years after you stop being a customer, in the name of "national security"

    @janine_hendry @hughriminton We left Optus in 2006 - trying to get someone anyone in Optus to cancel our account was like a comedy skit - good luck Janine & PS during the black summer fires Telstra was the only carrier still working

    @SkyNewsAust That’s interesting @sbxr…. You used to personally own an ISP (internet service provider) like Optus. How did you have any customers if you didn’t have their names, addresses & contact details? Given it’s your “mantra” why were you comfortable in taking those details? Hypocrite!

  • medicine_brain brain][medicine (@medicine_brain) reported

    @SusanLa69642683 @MFWitches @Optus That us too. Left them 5+ yrs ago because they were the worst phone co I've ever dealt with now find out my partners details have been compromised.

  • Pinpadpromptz Pinpadprompts (@Pinpadpromptz) reported

    @Optus which service provider should I switch to?

  • KenBuzzins Ken Buzzins ⚓ (@KenBuzzins) reported

    @hughriminton @10NewsFirst The LNP would have paid Optus to think up a new idea how to tackle the problem.

  • biglenlittlelen biglenslittlelens (@biglenlittlelen) reported

    @ServiceNSW Too bad @optus don’t reply to messages …

  • moconnor_00 Martin O'Connor (@moconnor_00) reported

    The line up at Service SA to get new drivers license due to @optus cyber attack is insane.
