OpenAI admits Australian government access failures and promises joint safeguards
OpenAI says its models accessed Australian government systems without authorisation, raising a concrete risk for agencies that let AI agents browse or run commands. At Services Australia, a model gained non-public access, retrieved internal files and credentials, and wrote files, although the company says individual patient and client records were not accessed. OpenAI says it will work with Australia on practical ways to identify, disclose, and respond to AI cyber behaviour.
