Optus Issues Reports Near Central Coast, State of New South Wales

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Central Coast and nearby locations:

  • richramo Richard Ramnac (@richramo) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    My conspiracy theory is that Optus paid the ransom, hence why the hacker deleted the data, the threat revoked, with the hacker's change of heart happening very quickly after the first 10,000 customer details were released. #optusfail

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Optus CEO has said “this [#optushack] is due to bad actors”. You mean like Tom Cruise?

  • raptisj68 John Raptis (@raptisj68) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @trevorlong You're lucky Trevor, I've been a customer since the analogue days and still haven't received an email from @Optus notifying me of the breach.

  • wheelyweb Joe Ortenzi 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇦🇺 (@wheelyweb) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hey @guardian : has anyone asked @optus if previous customer data has been deleted? I was once a customer maybe 8 years ago so no idea if they had my data.

  • GT_AUS Graeme T (he/him)💉x 4😷 - 🌳🌲🌴🌵 (@GT_AUS) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @aparachick @anna_prole @JustJul77588855 Can't speak for Aussie but TPG own network. Anybody know, do the piggyback players simply use Optus infrastructure but maintain client data on their own system/s.🤔🤔

  • 50to39 Donna Longhurst (@50to39) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @SEggminder @Optus Hackers can duplicate any business header, info, even "security" so closely that it fools a lot of people. They set up their own sites complete with phone numbers. I got hacked that way. I avoid links completely these days. I never call the number sent in these txts or emails.

  • bcurrall80 Blake Currall (@bcurrall80) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @gomikestevens @Optus As a current Optus customer, I am still yet to receive any correspondence from them about this colossal **** up

  • just_brash Justin Brash 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇺🍸📷🐱 (@just_brash) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Optus has put out a statement addressing the government criticism of the company. As a customer I’m still waiting for any communication from the company at all. Hello @optus, when do you intend to contact customers? #optushack

  • emzsuri 𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒊 (@emzsuri) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Arrived in BNE and switched my sim to Optus and was welcomed with a message regarding cyberattack on Optus resulting in customer information being stolen. 😳 wow, no firewalls or any contingencies? Shutting down all my Aus Bank accounts 😑

  • jazza1983 Jarrod McCloughan (@jazza1983) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hi @Optus I am a former customer of yours. You may have an old email on file for me so you may have not reached me by email if one was sent. Will I be notified by mail if the email bounced back? Thanks

  • fictillius Sagittarius (Sgr) A* (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @InsideRetailau @Optus Nothing was broken into, it was left out in the open.

  • renee_glitch Renée (@renee_glitch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Unusual spam WhatsApp message and unsolicited phone calls since #optusdatabreach count now at 2. Awesome 👍👍 I'm not even a customer anymore. Why did they keep my data? @Optus

  • DraganLazik D R A G A N (@DraganLazik) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @MadsMelbourne @Optus **** yeah you're right when you activate the sim, so stupid they don't need it either

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @HullKiwi I had considered doing something like that. But Optus have let us all down this week so I’m at the point of thinking they can get ******

  • paulkneipp Paul Kneipp (@paulkneipp) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @slsandpet With Optus for 10 years. When I moved, I asked them to connect me at the new place. No, they said, we have no service there. Telstra came, the tech pointed and said “that’s an Optus box there”. I was assured that emails would continue for 3 months. Account deleted in 24 hours.

  • IaenCordell Iaen Cordell (@IaenCordell) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    At last I got an answer for my 3G issues, they have switched off 3G 2100MHZ 3G in Artarmon! Now if they just informed the clowns in customer circus, then again Optus have a more current example of not advising customers! <grin>

  • scott86d Scott D (@scott86d) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    I know what's happened with this Optus breach is frustrating for people. However please don't take it out on us working in Service NSW centres. We have instructions at the moment of what we can and cant do in regards to updating your licence.

  • lyng62 Lyn (aka The Tractor 🚜) (@lyng62) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @wallyscr Thanks Aaron. I had been considering getting a dongle or a SIM card or something with Optus just to keep the account (been with them nearly 30 years) but recent events have given me bad juju

  • JPMasters JPMasters (He/Him/They/Them) (@JPMasters) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Jeremy_Kirk I think @Optus is in some deep trouble.

  • 50to39 Donna Longhurst (@50to39) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @SEggminder @Optus Probably the small cogs in the chain on the phone not getting all the info from the bosses. Doesn't help situation.

  • mad_max079 Mad_Max79 (@mad_max079) reported

    @actualfredsmith @MelanieTait And coverage is good? I find Optus sucks in the country and has certain black spots around Melbourne too.

  • bartlett_kate Kate Bartlett (@bartlett_kate) reported

    @Kathblue @Optus Not me. I’m with Optus and I have had no issues with coverage!

  • troy__himself troy himself (@troy__himself) reported

    @MelanieTait I pay $34 with Moose Mobile and get 50gb of data and $400 of international calls. Uses Optus network but it works fine for me, I don’t need regional coverage. BYO phone. I left Telstra as their customer service was beyond terrible, no regrets and should have gone sooner.

  • Manning123Sm Scott Manning (@Manning123Sm) reported

    @Optus It's 2021 n I continually have problems with reception ffs. I bet you guys still charge full price when the bill is due 🖕

  • SusanDeeW Susan Dee (@SusanDeeW) reported

    @sofistic8ed I own my phone and get 60 gigs for $49 a month with free talk and text and 300 mins overseas calls with Optus. It is my only internet. Vodafail doesn't work where I live.

  • nickformo Nicholas Foreman (@nickformo) reported

    @Optus is there an outage in Bayswater vic?

  • thepiedwanderer Joan Wilder (@thepiedwanderer) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Optus Lol. Clearly you have read this thread closely...I am thinking of changing services TO @Optus. Am starting to wonder if all AU providers do is blanket responses rather than customer service.

  • benjsoph Sophie Benjamin (@benjsoph) reported

    @MelanieTait WOAH! I pay $18 a month through Circles Life. Was $101 a month with Optus for device + service before I paid out my device. I'm never signing up for a phone plan (device and/or service) ever again.

  • GreenScreen3r GreenScreen3r (@GreenScreen3r) reported

    @pauldutton1968 @MelanieTait Telstra prepaid plans accumulate data now... had to move from Optus as their network is terrible where I am

  • oldlillipilli Joanna Mendelssohn (@oldlillipilli) reported

    @MelanieTait Ouch! I pay $40 at Optus & never run out of data although when on the road use my phone as a hot spot
