-
Stephen McDonald (@sbmcd) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Optus #OptusDataBreach so my partner who was a customer with you in 2016 has been notified about the data breach, but I was a customer up to a year ago and still can’t find out if my data has been compromised.
-

-
Andrew Watson (@tmwwthere) reported from Melbourne, Victoria10am yesterday @Optus told me over the phone that my info wasn’t caught up in the breach. By the end of the day I received an email saying my info has been breached. No way of trusting #optus - haven’t been a customer of theirs since 2018. @SlaterGordon bring on the class action
-
Time Traveller then/now (@PetraElliott) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@davenlamb Yep. Same wording. Granted i haven’t been a customer of optus in just shy of 20 years. So I wouldn’t be on a current mailing list. But my date of birth and phone number hasn’t changed in that time and I obviously can’t change/get a new DOB. It’s just super poor form overall
-
Shigeru (Shiggy) Kugimiya (釘宮 滋) (@ShigeruKugimiya) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Optus I have issues with mobile network not connecting to the network in South Eastern Melbourne 3196. Is anyone having same issues?
-
Morabeets 🇺🇦 (@morrisd3_dm) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@DarkMatterzine @joshgnosis Even if the documents were necessary they should never have been placed in an insecure situation. If the API's access was exhaustive Optus was stuffed from the get go.
-
Tejashree Kangutkar (@DrTejashreeK) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAnybody experiencing issues with @optus network? Signal interruptions are regular and ongoing. I often get dropped out of important meetings and seminars because of network issues. This is beyond annoyance #Optus
-
Tony (@bonitoclub) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Optus hi, any word on when the internet outage affecting Northcote Vic will be fixed? It's been down since about 2 o'clock.
-
*Cindy N* 🤔✨ (@cindyn) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaAnyone use Belong mobile? Any good? I’m with Optus but they’re giving me the shits - I can’t use my phone at home to make calls coz they’ve been ‘upgrading the network’ since mid-Dec! And I work from home 3 days a week. Paying $50/month for SFA service…
-
Scouse Helen(Helen Drinoczky) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@scousehelen) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@NickAnsell @rebekkarnold Optus now show less competitions, now charges more and still we get terrible streaming issues when trying to watch live games in the middle of the night.
-
Baz (@bazhousecat) reported from Melbourne, VictoriaIf we’ve learnt anything from the Optus debacle, it’s that you should never hire Gladys Berejiklian for anything.
-
Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@vertikar @NBN_Australia @Telstra The irony in Telstra workers having Optus and Vodafone services for continuity just in case nbn and Telstra mobile go down. 😬
-
Essendon FC - The Rebuild (@EFCRebuild) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@timrosen35 @Optus I disagree. Optus Mobile customer service is better than @VodafoneAU customer service 👍
-
Cooper Everywhere All At Once 🧑🏼💻 (@CooperCodes) reported from Melbourne, 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.

Fred the Mist🌫 (@FredSpider) reported@jfwfreo @D_LittleproudMP Exactly. I live remotely, and the local tower broke down. It took 3 weeks for Optus to arrive. Meanwhile I used the local pay phone most days to conduct business and to phone concerned friends and relatives. Littleproud has no idea how the remote live. He’s just another National
-
Kelly (@Kelly26552573) reported@Candour100 @blu_boys @Optus Yeah my husband had to switch to the Telstra network because of remote work. Boost was his choice.
-
Zecoshi🛡️ (@Zecoshi) reportedOk hackers use it to grab some BTC using complex reasoning and here I am arguing with ai for being stupid and building a page and not checking its own form code, what the heck are hackers using as no way could my agent do complex and that’s Optus 5 on max lmao @AnthropicAI sort you **** out pronto before everyone moves to codex
-
John Merchant (@_JohnMerchant) reported@central01000011 Depends on the network, Telstra and Optus are great. But I have no idea about Vodafone.
-
Mian Ijaz Rabbani (@ijaz2021) reportedAustralia switched off its 3G network in 2024, since then Jazz IR roaming stopped working in Australia. Community raised it many times with Jazz, to always receive a reply to adjust network settings to no avail. Please talk with Singtel/Optus to restore Jazz IR in Australia.

StrangelyAmusing (@Weirdgripping84) reported🔔 Optus 2018 was hands down his best test hundred. That was really tough deck.

Anthony Beckhouse (@AntoBeck) reportedData Security seems to be a major problem in Australia. How about I just hand my data over publicly and be done with it? @Optus @originenergy #DataSecurity
-
𝗴 𝗹 𝗼 𝘄 (@glowwxx) reported@Aussie_Dad5 @Zhshshdjsjsjs You’re so retarded it’s embarrassing. The fact you think turning your phone off means they can’t collect your data shows your IQ. 1. Turning off your phone isn’t turning off your phone it pings to a cell tower constantly. Most phones go into a “deep sleep” mode in which where gps, microphone and network are still active 2. If they wanted to collect data they wouldn’t need an alert to do it. They would just go to Optus and Telstra, give them your number and get everything they want. Or just ask Apple or google to comply.

Lucy Graham (@montrosegraham) reported@ChinaSelect Australia has had two major telecommunications network failures. As a result of the Telstra failure, three people died, including a baby. One person died as a result of the Optus failure. No infrastructure should have any exposure to foreign adversaries.
