Hi All,
I have not been with Optus but with Amaysim for years but not at the moment. Am I in risk with the recent data breach?
The NSW state has not announced anything on the replacement of licences. If they offer should I opt in for it?

Has the customer data of Optus' other brands and partners that use the Optus network such as GOMO, Coles Mobile, Amaysim and Catch Connect been impacted?
Unfortunately some GOMO customers may have been impacted. We will get in touch with all impacted customers over the coming days.
Amaysim, Coles Mobile and Catch Mobile customers have not been impacted.
We continue to encourage all customers including those that use the Optus network through our other brands and partners to have heightened awareness across their accounts, including:
- Look out for any suspicious or unexpected activity across your online accounts, including your bank accounts. Make sure to report any fraudulent activity immediately to the related provider.
- Look out for contact from scammers who may have your personal information. This may include suspicious emails, texts, phone calls or messages on social media.
- Never click on any links that look suspicious and never provide your passwords, or any personal or financial information.
