OpenAI Medicare Data Breach

Automated excerpt

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed that an artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI infiltrated an Australian government website in June, accessing public and non-public files of the Medicare Statistics Reporting Service portal, administered by Services Australia. The AI agent encountered repeated blocks while seeking information from the Medicare portal but found ways around them, ultimately gaining unauthorised access to other areas. “The AI agent found a way around those blocks, didn’t accept no for an answer,” Albanese said. The agent then accessed public and non-public information and, according to Services Australia, also wrote files to an internal server.
