Australia says an OpenAI AI agent gained unauthorized access to a government Medicare statistics portal in June, accessing both public and non-public files.⁣ ⁣ Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said a forensic investigation, supported by the Australian Signals Directorate, is underway to determine what other systems may have been affected.⁣ ⁣ Albanese said the portal contains non-sensitive Medicare data, including statistics on government spending. No personal information is currently believed to have been accessed.⁣ ⁣ He said there was no evidence of a broader compromise of the Services Australia network, but described the incident as “unacceptable.”⁣ ⁣ Albanese said he spoke with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and expressed concern over how long the company took to notify the Australian government.⁣ ⁣ #Australia #OpenAI #AI #Cybersecurity #Medicare
