    @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).

  • 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.

  • eeeer71 eer (@eeeer71) reported

    ABC News Optus has strenuously denied human error was a contributing factor in a breach that saw cyber criminals steal customer data

  • VitalSparkCapt Parahandy (@VitalSparkCapt) reported

    @_Anthony_WA @John25872967 Optus never had any major problem, until Gladys arrived!

  • DeliciousSophie SophieDel (@DeliciousSophie) reported

    @HotdogVendorED I reckon bad/malicious code in third party app that’s running inside Optus cloud… we’re moving too fast, people can’t keep up. #OptusHack #optusfail

  • NathanLee Nathan Lee (@NathanLee) reported

    @Qldaah Some don't even have separation between ****/non **** for networks. So optus should be praised for having that concept of a test network compared to some shockers of companies out there that just have "a network for everything"..

  • brendan_perera Brendan Perera (@brendan_perera) reported

    @AlboMP economy going down the toilet, inflation uncontrolled, optus had a major hack! yet nice to see you care more about your dog than getting any real work done.

  • ConstantRespawn Drew (@ConstantRespawn) reported

    @Asher_Wolf I haven’t gotten an email but an Optus support person with not the Optus app chat system did tell me my account had been flagged so unclear if they have a good handle on things

  • BrianMpatamanga Mpatamanga (@BrianMpatamanga) reported

    Linda Burney on TV more than once a day is too much. The same topic and response each time in extended interviews. Jane Hume grumbling that Labor aren't informing the public all about the Optus problem. They will when Optus finds out what went wrong.

  • squig_ Antifa CTO (@squig_) reported

    @Asher_Wolf Nice to see OPTUS IT is still a shitshow 🙄. Not sure if it still exists, but the OPTUS department responsible for network security was/is? the NSA (network server administration)

  • HartleyKade Kade Hartley (@HartleyKade) reported

    I don’t know what’s worse, the grand final parade down the Yarra, or Optus’ security measures.

  • tobyallen tobes (@tobyallen) reported

    @GordyPls Oh I see you’re an Optus customer
