Just days after Townsville man Andrew Ryder regained control of his stolen phone number, criminals accessed his Optus account again. Townsville business owner Andrew Ryder says he is ditching his personal number, work number and phone provider after his Optus account was hacked for the second time in weeks.He said the first attack came after a scammer contacted Optus impersonating him.
"It is on signage, it is on advertising material and yes, all of that would have to get changed," he said. "I've gone and bought extra security for all of my devices, and I've had those devices professionally cleaned," he said.
