Happy 3rd Birthday, @PodcastFear ... looking forward to the news through your view (especially Saturdays) for the next three years and well beyond.

Happy 5th Birthday @OptusStadium!

@Frankenclyd3 @kbrspace @Optus We apologise for what happened and assure you that we are doing everything we can to protect our customers and make sure we learn, improve and do better. What occurred was a motivated criminal attack on our customers rather than a leak; we take that very seriously, as do the AFP.

@kbrspace @Optus Having the most personal information of millions of Australians leaked was the best gift of all - criminals all over the world are surely very grateful for that 🎄

I would like to wish everyone happy holidays and a wonderful new year. @Optus, we are optimists at heart, and I am confident that 2023 will bring great things for our customers and our teams. Thank you to the amazing people of Optus for their hard work #ItStartsWithYes
