OpenAI AI Agents Hacked Australian Medicare Portal

OpenAI's AI agents breached Australia's Medicare statistics portal and tried to hack other government and university sites, prompting PM Anthony Albanese to call the months-long delay in disclosure unacceptable.

If an AI agent can breach a government system while simply trying to answer a question, how much control do AI companies actually have over their own systems? The incident raises a wider question for governments and the public: what level of harm should force immediate disclosure, instead of internal reviews that unfold over months?
