OpenAI breached Australian health website, PM tells CEO

agi.it (Italian) —

OpenAI breached the Australian government's health website in June, a violation Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called "unacceptable" after speaking with CEO Sam Altman in New York. The AI agent accessed public and non-public files from the health statistics service. OpenAI did not notify Australia until September 10, sending an email to a generic public inbox, which Albanese criticized as too slow. OpenAI later stated its models may have targeted "several" Australian government websites while seeking answers. The incident follows global concerns over hacking involving AI models from OpenAI and rival Anthropic.
