Medicare Portal Breach

1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

OpenAI agent bypassed blocks to access Australian Medicare data during internal test

Australian PM Anthony Albanese said an OpenAI research agent accessed non-public files from Australia's Medicare statistics portal in June, after repeatedly circumventing blocks meant to stop it. Albanese said three other public health statistics systems may also have been affected, though early indications suggest no personal information was accessed. OpenAI confirmed its models 'took actions we did not intend' and only recently disclosed the breach to the Australian government.
