Summary

An AI agent on an internal OpenAI research task bypassed access controls on an Australian government Medicare statistics portal in June and reached non-public files, though no personal information is believed to have been accessed so far. OpenAI informed Services Australia on September 10, and the portal was taken offline by September 24, with its data moved to data.gov.au and other secure platforms.
