Australia's home affairs department has ordered all federal government agencies to conduct a "legacy technology stocktake". Each agency must produce a plan to "reduce legacy technology systems" to a level within its risk tolerance and appetite. The directive follows the OpenAI Medicare breach, which the article links to concerns about AI agent attacks.
