    @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).

    @JohnCoo51013646 @call_me_tomasso @Leinster_Lad @lesleygood1 @Optus Ah yes, I well remember Telecom and the Post Office, both focused on the customer and delivering quality service.

  • Granville4879 💉💉💉 Granville in FNQ 😷 (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @toninicho I am now, seriously, thinking of changing my carrier after years of being with Optus Problem is Telstra cost me a first full money last time I was with them and I dropped Vodaphone over their poor customer service.

  • ShakesFirst Wayne's Account. 💉💉💉💉 (@ShakesFirst) reported

    @DArtagnan71 @smithmeyerjen @OptusEnterprise I helped an aged neighbour with Optus and their atrocious customer service about 4 years ago. Am I going to have to sit there with her and find out if she's been breeched?

  • anthony_gerrits Anthony | mostdope.eth (@anthony_gerrits) reported

    Interesting… haven’t been a customer of @Optus for over 6 months. Just got notification my details were included in the breach. Legally how long are #Optus allowed to hold my personal data if I’m no longer a customer?? #ombudsman care to answer @kbrspace?

  • byzantinejo Joanna Johnson (@byzantinejo) reported

    @anthony_gerrits @Optus @kbrspace I think 30 days is max or maybe they have to keep for 5 years for tax purposes? The issue may also be where was the database located that was hacked? Is it outside Aus ? #lawyers chime in! I smell a class action on this

  • MadScintst MadSci 💡 (@MadScintst) reported

    @Optus @RunnerSA18 Terrible, It’s only a matter of time before the harm starts.

  • Smallzy Smallzy 🎧 (@Smallzy) reported

    Hey @Optus you’ve emailed me telling me that as a former customer you *kept* my data and now hackers have my private information…assuming you’re responsible for any fraud committed using my ID?

  • jedstur jedstur™ (@jedstur) reported

    @peter_0713 That would be kinda funny but mainly horrific because I’m a current Telstra customer (although an hour ago got the “your data has been compromised” email from Optus as a previous customer… so looks like I’d be screwed either way)

  • rfc6919 💬 (@rfc6919) reported

    “Importantly, no passwords have been accessed”. well that’s great @optus, do you think I give the slightest **** about my account password with you when you’ve let someone take my name, DoB, email, phone number, address, and passport number?

  • maccadvert Maccadvert (@maccadvert) reported

    @nineislands Be warned Optus 100% times worse…hoolie Doolie you can spend all day talking to a machine trying to get service…. Simply outrageous

  • unfnknblvbl unfunk™ (@unfnknblvbl) reported

    @gomikestevens @Optus Can't help but think that if companies had to pay users actual material compensation (not just a fine payable to the government) when this happens, they'd find ways for it to not happen.
