Warning for Optus customers

[MatstaDogg]

I hope the "hack" in @Hacky McAxe is the chopping off limbs type of hack rather than the Optus type...

He's just a hack

Flashback...

Optus employee Gladys Berejiklian has been asked to give a daily update on hacking number (credit: The Shovel).

Never a truer word has been said.

I haven't been with Optus for about 4 years due to some shocking experiences and fuck ups.. Had heaps of issues with them trying to sort problems out. Vowed to never go back to them again..

I got an email from them the other day explaining the breach and pretending like there's nothing to worry about.

It doesn't surprise me this happened to them. They're the dodgiest, most poorly run company.. I hope this drama ruins them because they deserve to go bankrupt. At least I hope ten's of thousands of people switch to someone else..

Got an email this morning from Optus saying i had requested a change to my Optus 5G internet. Not sure if its coincidental or not.

Is it possible Optus paid up quietly behind the scenes?

I haven't checked my offshore bank account as I had internet problems today.

But I gave them a week anyway, so.....

[Mr 95%]

Optus have stated sending out messages letting you know what’s been exposed.

Me and 3 mates have had DL numbers given up.

Optus will give you a $42.60 credit on your NEXT bill but only if you’ve had both numbers on your license exposed.

How pathetic! I wish our government had the balls to stand up to them all properly

If you get your licence changed via the Services NSW website, do they change both numbers or only the Card Number? (kind of pointless if that is the case as most would have given their licence number).

They recently changed the laws so banks can't do a credit check unless you provide them with both the drivers license number and card number. By sheer luck, very few people had both their card number and license number exposed. Basically that means that unless both are exposed, they can't use your details to apply for a credit card.

That said, there are some things you can get without the license card number, including applying for other forms of ID that may be able to be used for other things, and for certain account retrievals like password resets on mail and possibly bank accounts.

 

[Shanked]

haven't heard a word from them, yet

I’m not sure mate, I’m in the ACT so unsure if it’s the same or not.

Everyone wants to be me, they will steal my ID for sure.
Not sure why everyone uses Optus when most fruit loops yell across town these days anyway.
