Optus Issues Reports Near Ballam Park, State of Victoria

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Ballam Park and nearby locations:

  • bazhousecat Baz (@bazhousecat) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    If we’ve learnt anything from the Optus debacle, it’s that you should never hire Gladys Berejiklian for anything.

  • Stanleysmum1 Stanleysmum (Sharon) (@Stanleysmum1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Optus I've received one email from Optus (My bill) and today have (so far) had 15 spam/robocallers. All reported but how bad will this get before you take action. What guarantees will you put in place to ensure my passport and licence details aren't sold off to the highest bidder?

  • CooperCodes Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Optus and Qantas really fighting for that “worst company in Australia” award.

  • enespana1 enespana (@enespana1) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Asher_Wolf @Bredgens @wheelswordsmith I msg Optus on their help platform - they have automated message saying there is delay in responding. Then they message 15min later repeating question and asking to confirm. Then they close the conversation when I don’t respond within a couple of minutes. Happened 2x already🙄

  • mflbg Michael (@mflbg) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @DrKate_Miller @emmaandollie @Optus I’m an ex customer from 2 years ago and my data was in the hack. What should I ask for as compensation?

  • CooperCodes Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Amata_georgeii @Optus The number isn’t so much of an issue, it’s the rest of the information that got leaked. I’m changing because this is the second security breach they’ve had and this one is exceptionally bad.

  • sitegeister John Ryan (@sitegeister) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Why should Optus pay fines? If you’re a customer, maybe retrospectively pay higher bills and ask for assurances and guarantee.They just did what any shareholder-driven multinational is actually tasked with doing.

  • WAppleyard Winston Appleyard 🌈 (@WAppleyard) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @alisoncroggon As I am also an Optus customer I await..

  • Brodhe B (@Brodhe) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    If you are, or if you hypothetically would have been, an Optus customer, how worried about the data breach are you?

  • ajobbins Adam Jobbins (@ajobbins) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @seemsforever Yeah, I've been the information risk owner of large, externally facing systems like this and it's the nightmare situation. But reading how the hack was done, it's crazy that Optus didn't know about this vulnerability, or if they did and didn't fix it....😬

  • jonathonnunan Jonathon Nunan (@jonathonnunan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @nadinevoncohen @patrickkeneally Only contact I've had from Optus has been apologies for our NBN dropping out. Which is roughly about ten times a day. But hey, who could have foreseen the copper technology solution not being up to the job?

  • GlennHampson Glenn Hampson (@GlennHampson) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I take my Optus email is part of the data hack given the **** emails and sms that have risen significantly in the past 48 hours

  • CooperCodes Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @VicRoads @VicGovDoT Just change the license numbers please and issue new ones. And charge that back to Optus thanks.

  • ShaneBryan_IT Shane Bryan (@ShaneBryan_IT) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    I think better wording is needed for the #optus incident. My understanding is that it wasn’t a hack, it wasn’t a breach, nor an attack & that the data was leaked through incompetence. I’m still reading articles about it mentioning terms such as “firewall” in ways implying a hack.

  • jonathonnunan Jonathon Nunan (@jonathonnunan) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    BROKEN NEWS:: John Barilaro to be appointed as OPTUS Head of Cyber Security.

  • doc_eggbert doc eggbert (@doc_eggbert) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Telstra What kind of offers you got for @optus customers who were hacked? #OptusHack Been a loyal customer 12 years (3 x phones). Jumping ship coz it can happen again.

  • Burgo0806 Courtney (@Burgo0806) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @me_dc Yep me too! I haven’t been an Optus customer for 2 years!

  • suessaints Susanna (@suessaints) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @vicroads please change your rules re licence replacement. Optus customers should not have to wait for a fraud to occur to be allowed to change their driver’s licences! It’s bad enough to have the data breach. @DanielAndrewsMP @Optus 1/2

  • AuspiciousTimes Claire 包玉思🏅🥈🥇🥉🥇🥇🥉🥇💉💉💉 (@AuspiciousTimes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Biggest surprise about @Optus disaster is they had customers. Poor support, woeful service. I took them to ombudsman twice about 11/12 years ago. They couldn't re-establish my phone connections for TWO MONTHS despite a simple word in code change as a fix. #PayCompensationOptus

  • CooperCodes Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼‍💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @Amata_georgeii @Optus Yeah I’m gonna try reissue my DL number and cancel my Passport so they don’t connect to anything. Other than that it’s a mess

  • camdenham Cam Denham (@camdenham) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Is @Optus 4G dead for anyone else around Melbourne? Phone data super slow, and mobile broadband not working at the moment. Usual troubleshooting isn't fixing it either.

  • Mezanong MezANonG (@Mezanong) reported

    @TheRiffJet @TubbsJTattsyrup @iiNet 16 year customer here, having similar issues with the swap from their optus plan to their vodafone plan. none of their instructions are valid

  • KimyonaYunikon Brianna Allston (@KimyonaYunikon) reported

    @Optus Hey, I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue for other Optus Flex customers, but you guys keep trying to, if not successfully double charge me every time I restart my Optus Flex subscription. Really think this should be looked into.

  • SlottyTo ricky mould hudson (@SlottyTo) reported

    @HayleyNewland1 I’m on Optus it’s well bad it’s buffering like **** 😭

  • conrod_11 connie kouimtzis (@conrod_11) reported

    @rioferdy5 @GNev2 And scholesy on optus... working with owen Bad enough he had to watch that rubbish at Anfeild next to that muppet

  • PPatrick007 Patrick (@PPatrick007) reported

    @Optus I'm also having steaming issues. Last night around 11pm and I just gave up. Woke up this morning at 8am to watch a replay on optus sports and I can't even get 10 mins of constant viewing. This on top of what happened last week makes me wanting to quit Optus

  • Airpuffy P. Henry (@Airpuffy) reported

    @Telstra I thought ATT was bad in the US... trying to verify my ID is still ongoing, even after a week of visiting your store with my 100 points. Looks like my next 3 years will be with @Optus for my mobile provider

  • Wester_Hare Wester Hare 🐰 (@Wester_Hare) reported

    @GodDamnItLizard (So long as it's not Optus, their reception is awful out here)

  • FenstarDeLuxe Fenstar (@FenstarDeLuxe) reported

    @Optus Hi, please tell me what a network reset is? This is pretty vague advice.

  • PurpleHaze_Lee 🏴‍☠️ Lee Howerin ⚓️ (@PurpleHaze_Lee) reported

    @gurusculler It’s not too bad here, but it’s also a college stadium. I reckon if I was at Optus, I’d have to get a pie at least to say I’d done it.
