1. How do we know this isn’t just some loser pretending to be the hacker?

2. How does he expect to get the million dollars without being tracked down?

How can they supply verified data when they are pretending?

As an Optus customer I hope this is true that my leaked data is now destroyed. Also hope Optus have now plugged the hole that exposed it to you. 

I think Optus should have paid the hacker, but not for a ransom but for a job to teach them how to improve their cybersecurity!

To the hacker, all of Australia wants to know how you did it. Or at least if the Optus CEO is telling the truth about it. She says Optus had very good security protecting our data but you made a sophisticated attack to breach all their encryption. 

Also to Optus and the Australian Media, why do you keep saying this forum is the "dark web", it took me 5 seconds to find with Google.

Most likely sold to another country..... and offered him citizenship too...

Thanks for the trojan you dropped on one of the links you shared. Bonus.

Unprofessionally handled.

It was over 80 gb

Optus are trying to tell me that only one customer’s data was stolen. They also told me the news was fake and it was only 1 news channel running the story.
