    @LesStonehouse @Optus There is, I think I remember correctly, a period of up to 48 hours where a new service replicates across a WAN (wide area network).

    The @Optus situation is perfectly demonstrating the reason I can't support nuclear power in Australia. Large companies enjoy complete immunity from consequences for failure and negligence.

  • WarWraith Memento Moriarty (@WarWraith) reported

    I’ve literally never had a good experience with Optus on any level, both from a consumer point of view, and from a business service provider point of view, going back almost two decades. I’ve actively avoided them for over a decade, which turns out to be sheer dumb luck.

  • GQuattromani Geoff Quattromani (@GQuattromani) reported

    @grtdane not a stupid question at all. I checked and double checked all the signs that would make it a phishing attempt and it's definitely from Optus.

  • madamcyn cynthia dammerer (@madamcyn) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    Good to know it's only the customers and not Optus that's affected. #OptusHack It is a combination of your name, date of birth, email, phone number and/or address but it is important to know that Optus’ network and Optus services including mobile and home Wi-Fi aren’t affected🤬

  • nealon Graham Nealon 🇺🇦 (@nealon) reported

    Apparently @asicmedia is so annoyed at @Optus not giving a **** about customer privacy or security that they’re now only going to lick Kelly Bayer Rosmarin’s arsehole for 15 minutes every week instead of their usual 30. #auspol

  • Humandestiny48 Humandestiny🇦🇺 (@Humandestiny48) reported

    @ClareONeilMP @AustralianLabor I am a long term customer of Optus. Now I know the reason why I receive strange phone calls and texts which is annoying. Because Optus sold my data out.

  • SandiHLogan Sandi Logan (@SandiHLogan) reported

    Have you ever seen a CEO @Optus @kbrspace (Kelly Bayer Rosmarin) or CorpAffrs exec @saltysallyo (Sally Oelerich) bomb so comprehensively with every public utterance (about the massive data leak)? Instead of assuring customers, their utter incompetence frightens the crap outta me!

  • SydneyEditor1 Verushka, an editor (@SydneyEditor1) reported

    @divabooknerd @Optus Me either, and i only became a customer within the last 2-3 years. I messaged them to ask of my details had been compromised and they won’t say if my deets have been compromised but listed what was taken in the hack and its enough to gain access to ither stuff imo

  • ukoneqt Jordan (@ukoneqt) reported

    .@wendoverpro a potential video idea. The recent hack on the Australian Telco Optus. Almost 10m Australian's affected. How it happened, the implications for Optus and current/former customer, what's next for the industry going forward globally.

  • Harrison_Forth Harrison Forth (@Harrison_Forth) reported

    4 days after hearing about the Optus hack, I receive an email from the company letting me know that my personal information has been jeopardised. Pretty pathetic @Optus - you’ve lost a lot of goodwill from this customer. #OptusHack
