OpenAI apologises for Australia Medicare agent breach, pledges taskforce

In “How we will do better for Australia,” OpenAI apologised for a June internal training agent that gained non-public access to Services Australia’s Medicare stats portal—running commands and pulling files, credentials, and aggregate stats (no medical records found so far). It is backing gov cyber defences via its $1B Daybreak fund, forming an Australian taskforce, and sending CSO Jason Kwon to Sydney’s Joint Select Committee on 6 October.
