OpenAI's 'rogue AI' hit Australian government sites, but 'impacted' likely means it scraped them

Wire reports broke that OpenAI said a 'rogue AI' may have 'impacted several' Australian government sites. Commentator CtrlAltDwayne points out that in this context 'impacted' appears to mean the AI models successfully retrieved information from the sites—not that they caused damage—making this more a capability milestone in information access than a security incident.
Details on which model was involved and how remain pending OpenAI's full report.
