I would bet that Optus techs can't even talk to each other ATM. Maybe not even able to get in the server rooms.

I notice these headlines:

Live: Optus has not identified cause of major outage, 'will not rest' until services back online

'No indication' cyber attack behind Optus outage, CEO says

If they don't even know the cause, how can they know it's not a cyber attack?
