With regard to the Australian fiasco, I’m not with Optus but I have family members who are. From reports it would seem that victims of this data hack have received messages from scammers who have their personal details, demanding payment. The FBI has been called in to help with investigations.

The wording used on the messages that are supposedly from the hackers is not in good English and there are lots of spelling mistakes, so either they are from overseas or are trying to make it appear so.
