OpenAI Agent Infiltrated Australian Healthcare Portal in June, Says Prime Minister

An artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI infiltrated an Australian government website in June, accessing non-sensitive data from the Medicare statistics portal.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticized OpenAI CEO Sam Altman during a discussion in New York for taking until September 10 to inform Australian officials of the security breach.

A forensic investigation led by the Australian Signals Directorate is underway, though preliminary assessments indicate no patient records or broader government networks were compromised.
