@grumpyMichael Same with the #optushack - the real issue was the retention of data that was no longer needed.

Any of my followers ( Melbourne, Australia specifically) get affected by the #OptusHack #OptusDebacle ? I did. And I just got my temporary licence sticker from VIC Roads

If there's one silver lining after the recent Optus and Medibank hacks here in Australia, then it's the fact that organisations seem to finally be putting a focus onto their security from the top down.
Today I had another great workshop with a new customer to assess their overall security and #cloudsecurity so they know what they need to improve on and invest in.

Having actually walked into an Optus store and tried this two weeks ago, I was told that no, the only way to complete this process is *plaintext email* of scanned ID and official Government documents. #optushack

Just wondering... Are any OPTUS tooters out there having issues with an ongoing "temporary service difficulties messsge ONI1"? I've been unable to make mobile calls ALL DAY and just keep getting that service message!!! Wondering if it's just me? Or an Optus malfunction? #ausSocial #optus #OptusDebacle #OptusHack​

Just wondering... Are any OPTUS Aussies out there having issues with an ongoing "temporary service difficulties" messsge? I've been unable to make mobile calls ALL DAY !!! Wondering if it's just me? Or an Optus malfunction? #ausSocial #optus #OptusDebacle #OptusHack

Wise words from @jpwarren@twitter.com on @abcnews@twitter.com re: #optusHack and #infosec

*We need companies to stop treating data as an asset, and start treating it as a liability."

"Don't collect it if you don't need it, don't store it for longer than you need it."

Walked by an Optus store at the local mall that had a prominent apology for the “cyberattack” on a screen. #OptusHack #auspoI #OptusDataBreach

RT @Jeremy_Kirk: UPDATE: I reached the person who claims to have hacked Optus. I've also been contacted by a second, separate source who says the hacker's version of events is approximately correct. Here's what they said. #OptusHack #infosec #auspol

Importantly the two pieces of personally identifiable information (financial info and password) that can be changed were not accessed. 🤨

Pity the ones you can't easily change were accessed... 🤦
