Optus

Two Optus customers alerted the company to a triple zero outage , during which four people died, hours before the telecommunications provider restored the emergency service, CEO Stephen Rue has revealed.

The judge overseeing three court proceedings against Optus over a 2022 data breach has questioned why it took the privacy regulator three years to file its case.

The privacy regulator has brought a case against Optus over a 2022 data breach that affected up to 10 million people, as the telco faces a class action and related proceedings by the media regulator.

A judge has allowed a Central Coast resident to weigh in on Optus’ challenge to a council's refusal to bless its plans to build a telecommunications tower, saying the council’s “commercial relationship” with the telco justified a contradictor.

Optus has agreed to pay a $100 million penalty in a case brought by the ACCC, admitting the watchdog's allegations that staff pressured customers into buying phones they couldn’t afford.

CPS Technology & Infrastructure has sued subcontractor Skyaus Infrastructure over $1.3 million in loss  allegedly suffered after Skyaus failed to obtain necessary permits for a new Optus facility in the rural village of Anakie.

Optus has been hit with a $12 million penalty over a “preventable” nationwide network outage in November 2023, which left thousands of customers unable to make emergency calls.

Optus has struck back at ACMA's claim that a cyberattack that exposed the information of around 10 million customers was not a "highly sophisticated" operation.

The competition watchdog has approved a blockbuster regional network sharing deal expected to boost TPG’s regional coverage as well as Optus’ 5G rollout, after rejecting a similar deal between TPG and Telstra. 

The competition watchdog has accepted an undertaking from TPG not to renew an agreement requiring it to pre-install Google on mobile devices it supplies, following similar undertakings given by Telstra and Optus last month.
