Forgive me for not following Aussie news, but what's an Optus data breach, and how are you involved?

Hey all finally made down & safe. How are all today /night or whatever your time zone is?

Optus is one of our largest telcos. They left their computer systems exposed and hackers got all the data of all their customers. Names, addresses, birthdates, drivers license numbers, passports etc. 10 million Australian’s have lost their data to hackers. Considering there are only 25 million people in Australia it’s been a major catastrophe here.

Doran's costume is a bit like what student nurses used to wear. The same colours, anyway. But dirtier.

I think if I were in a hospital and he showed up, I'd check myself out!

Wow. So you have to change all your bank details and everything? So sorry to hear that.

Hindsight is a marvellous thing. I think if you didn't know he was really a Sea Creature, he's be quite a charmer.

And here's Soolin.

Yep. People are even being told to get new drivers license and passports but a week ago there was actually no way of doing this as computer systems and laws only allowed for change of these documents in the event of someone actually stealing money from you. So both the federal and state governments have had to hastily change a lot of computer systems and laws.

Used to be with OPTUS now with Telstra & since getting my new phone I've now got full security scanning system installed. Feels like I've got a mini ORAC

Why on Earth (or on Xenon) would Soolin say 'This is Xenon base..." She's the only person likely to call him, and he knows where she is.

Was going to watch B7 again but a bright sunny October day & spent half the day pulling out a Yukka stump. All's that left is general tidy up, weeds growing like wildfire.

Do you realise ‘past’ customers are affected? As Optus still had their data in their system. You might want to follow up with Optus just to check if your data has been included in the hack or not.
Thanks Tyce I'll look into that, never occurred to me but it's been over 20 odd years or more since then.

Still trying to work out why Dorian was the way he was? As I see it he took people down below & he got their youth & that's how he stayed young or am I missing something?

Pity other members here aren't here to join in. Seeing the membership is growing rapidly each week. Be even better if we or some to have a social night out. I know it's difficult due to vast distances etc. Just a passing thought

If Tarrant is puffed out going ‘down’ the stairs how the heck is he going to get back up?

Why not suggest it on the meetings thread?
