OpenAI agent swarm may have breached Australian government, notified 3 months late

The OpenAI agent swarm that hijacked German wikis may also have hacked into the Australian government, seemingly looking for healthcare data and touching AIHW, which holds government prescription data. OpenAI reportedly didn't notify them for nearly 3 months, with disclosure coming via an email to a Services Australia public inbox — and the PM is allegedly furious. "Good thing" the agents' research question wasn't about the Chinese military, the author quips.
