    Dear @Optus it’s been a good 25 years. But, you’re testing us on our changeover to @NBN_Australia Still no internet & 3 no show tech appointments to connect our FTTC so far. Tired of waiting for a tech who never turns up. Now considering what other options are available to us 😕

    If Optus had paid the 1.5 and in the interim followed the money trail, this massive breach would never have occurred. But gladbag wanted to give it to Daryl

    @samuelclvflin WHAT ********. That is so wild. Still don’t care, I want out of Optus after this. It’s too risky and I don’t trust anyone. 🫠

    Leading on from this, @Optus has poisoned the authentication well in Oz. The leak is so large, it's hard to see how any organisation can now use any of the compromised information (in particular DOB) to authenticate a customer. To do so would be arguably negligent.

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 What a joke 🤷 The CEO should resign after allowing such a security breach in Australia's second largest telco. I'm guessing this was a API Dev environment connected Production Customer data assets for Consumer Data Right program that is rolling out for Telcos in Australia

    @ClareONeilMP @PatsKarvelas Hey mate, is there no regulator capable of fining Optus for this Incompetence? Self regulation BS doesn't work.

  • 2468whodinni Enough is enough🎓 (@2468whodinni) reported

    @50acrewoods @PlumberAlberta Australia’s Optus network was hacked and millions of users personal information was leaked. You honestly believe that can’t happen with a travel app or digital ID?

  • CreakingG CreakingGum 🎗🐨🌳 (@CreakingG) reported

    @RonniSalt @Optus I'm fascinated that every time Corporations are found out, the role of explaining it to the press is given to a woman. The trend has been there since James Hardy. What is that? Soften up the bad news?

  • pandemicamanda OverDystopia (@pandemicamanda) reported

    @BelongAU Hi, I’m looking at your internet plans as a soon to be ex-Optus customer. It seems there’s no way to contact you prior to joining, is this correct? How’s that working for your sales?

  • CavillJyckel Jyckel C (@CavillJyckel) reported

    So which phone/internet company should I switch to now that OPTUS are the worst? I moved from Telstra to virgin .. Optus bought virgin …
