Customer data exposed in major Optus hackA hacker has breached Optus’ systems to access data that the telecommunications company said could include names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses and passport numbers. Wonderful! I’m with Optus I hope my private info hasn’t been breached…… FFS 🤦🏻 😠😡🤬😤 For those wondering if all your personal details were stolen — don’t worry, you’ll be notified eventually. Probably after you’re the victim of identity theft and subsequently accused of fraud. Then you’ll have to convince others of your innocence. That’s how this works sadly.
