    @Lewislama @ClareONeilMP So we know it is. The familiar ploy of ‘problem, reaction, solution’ The minute those hacks of Optus & Medicare were announced it was obvious they would be used as an excuse to usher in Govt digital ID

  • crankycrab1171 JJ 🇦🇺 Cranky 🦀 (@crankycrab1171) reported

    @SkyNewsAust Utter rubbish!! How convenient just as the WEF/NWO want to push digital ID on to us, all these "hacks" and "data breaches" happen! How stupid do they think we are?! Have Telstra, Optus & Medibank Private been paid to say they've been breached, in line with the agenda? 🤔🤔🤔

  • MarySmith_900 Mary Smith (@MarySmith_900) reported

    What to look out for in a military romance scam. They ask you for your login details to every account you have such as emails, Facebook, Twitter. Or if your in Australia they will ask you for your mygov login account and to login into your phone account optus or telstra

  • EwokHunter1 Ewok Hunter (@EwokHunter1) reported

    @drt15 @aleaguemen You guys need to move into crisis communication mode ASAP. Optus lost 10% of their customer base in short order because of a failure to communicate with outraged customers. You're in the firing line.

  • susanjgwalsh Susan Walsh (@susanjgwalsh) reported

    Still on hold to @Optus trying to get my service reactivated just so I can port my number to new carrier. None of the incompetent agents I sue spoken to along the way will escalate my call to a supervisor .. presumably not wanting to uncover the litany of errors at every step

  • yaboiandro Knight OwL 🦉 (@yaboiandro) reported

    @optus Your service in my local area is absolutely Garbage 💩 #fixit

  • leopard00001 mickelmas (@leopard00001) reported

    @Telstra Another telco fuxx up for the millions you and optus charge consumers this **** isn't good enough

  • RugOnline Rug (@RugOnline) reported

    Anyone else get @Optus customer service that talks to you like you’re a child? I’m already counting down the weeks until my contract is done with them, especially after the **** last 12 months, but the customer service is just exhausting.

  • TcameronTodd Todd Cameron, COVID Vax UTD💥💪 (@TcameronTodd) reported

    @lucysunman Wow Optus: Hackers have stolen our customer data Telstra: Hold my beer

  • toomanypandoras Jan (@toomanypandoras) reported

    @LlJuju2022 I've potentially had my data taken in 3 separate incidents this year. Previous Optus customer, I've been notified by AHM & the first one was a letter from my Medical Negligence Lawyer saying they'd been hacked! I'd almost be grateful if they were to share the details of that case
