@Optus given the high possibility of ID theft will you reimburse customers for the cost of having new passports and drivers licenses issued? Telling us you’re working with the AFP doesn’t help your customers if bad actors use the information you’ve lost to commit identity theft.

@Optus has transposed my number in their back systems making it impossible for me to receive my OTP. their suggestion? Travel kilometres out of my way to a store to fix a simple back office mistake. The number it should be is literally on my bill. #whatajoke

@AussieJim11 @_davidlimbrick @pedroswift66 Yeah it's pretty obvious it is needed to be kept. Eg if the police contact optus for info on who owns a phone number that is committing a crime and optus can only tell them John Smith does, it doesn't help them at all.

@Optus And you have the ***** to say that your service is still safe to use because no WiFi passwords were accessed?! Every other bit of personal info they have but thank christ the Optus WiFi is safe.

@craff2008 @Optus My Web based login does. Although if you use the app, no. No need because it's already verified on your device.

@MultiplyBlessed @liamsutton32 @lavosaurus Irrespective of the relevant law pertinent to Optus - ACMA/AML or Privacy Act, it’s an incorrect interpretation that verification data must be retained. The Know Your Customer part of the AML act says an entity must have a risk based verification process…

@patrickkeneally Never had a problem with Optus in 16 years up to now. Telstra on the other hand are (fill in deprecatory adjective that won't trigger Twitter's algorithm here).

@MarcusMMcIntyre @Optus Have a thought for the people who are in contract & have to pay $$$$ to move Not everyone can afford to change 🤬 Or have no bleeding signal from any other provider where they live/work Personally I will be leaving, but will need to put a signal booster in 😡🤬 💶 🥺

As an #Optus customer, I’m still yet to receive a single communication about the state of my data. Yesterday though, I received two overseas message requests on WhatsApp from people I don’t know. #WTAF

@Kate3015 I'm surprised that Optus have not mentioned the complete dropouts of the network, on that day. I can only speak for myself but I had zero signal for hours, at least twice on that day. Coincidence? Let me know if it happened to you.

@samr6003 @daninetherclift @drnaomi Optus is supposed to offer to pay for this service. Haven't heard of them coming through with that though
