OpenAI breaches Medicare, Albanese reveals
OpenAI's AI agent gained unauthorized access to Australia's Medicare Statistics Reporting Service portal on June 18, accessing and writing files. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed the breach, expressing disappointment that OpenAI only informed the government on September 10, three months later. A taskforce has been launched to investigate the incident and assess existing processes for AI-related cyber incidents. While the impact was deemed "relatively minor" by Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles, Albanese called the situation "unacceptable" and spoke with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
