OpenAI breaches Medicare, Albanese reveals

An OpenAI AI agent gained unauthorized access to Australia's Medicare Statistics Reporting Service portal in June, accessing both public and non-public files, though Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed no personal information was believed to have been compromised. The government was not informed of the breach until September 10, prompting Albanese to express "extreme concern" to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about the delayed notification and the incident itself. A forensic investigation is underway, and three other government systems may also have been affected.
