🇦🇺⚡️ — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says an OpenAI AI agent gained unauthorized access to a government Medicare statistics portal on June 18, accessing both public and non-public files.

No personal Medicare information is currently believed to have been compromised, although an investigation remains underway.

Albanese said he raised Australia’s “extreme concern” directly with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, criticizing the company for taking three months to report the incident and then notifying the government in an email sent to the Services Australia public inbox.
