Optus sent email about triple-0 outage to wrong government address | ABC NEWS
Senate estimates has heard the communications department did not find out about the Optus triple-0 outage until more than a day after it occurred because an email informing the government of the failure was sent to the wrong address.
The email address was still working, but the inbox was not monitored.
The revelation prompted a heated exchange at an estimates hearing, as senators asked officials how the email could have been missed.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has hosted his Singaporean counterpart in Canberra, and Anthony Albanese was asked whether the communications department bears some responsibility in the delays for taking action on the outage.
