OpenAI research agent breached Australia's Medicare statistics portal, PM says
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said an OpenAI agent running a research project accessed restricted areas of the Medicare Statistics Reporting Portal in June after failing to find public data on government medicine spending. He said the portal holds no sensitive Medicare information and that no personal data or the broader Services Australia network was compromised. A government investigation and task force have been set up to assess the breach and potential legal action.
