Australia Slams OpenAI Over Medicare Portal Breach

India Today · world

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed extreme concern over an OpenAI breach of a health department website, criticising the company for delayed disclosure. An AI agent infiltrated the Medicare Statistics Reporting Service portal on July 18, accessing aggregate data. While no personal information was compromised, an inquiry will investigate the breach, potential charges for OpenAI, and security failures. The portal has since been closed and data secured.
