OpenAI agent hacked Australian Medicare portal, PM says
Concern? How about arrest the f*cker?? Cripes. If you or I hacked Medicare, the AFP would bash down our doors. AI does it? Oopsies! I am concerned! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Zak14Spokesperson calls it "misaligned model activity". I might pop down to the bank and do some misaligned activities and see how that plays out.
The Cathy Wilcox13“you wouldn’t steal a handbag…”
quokkafella.bsky.social11This is what comes from copying the Americans; crimes are only crimes if they are committed by individuals without wealth; if rich people or corporations do them, it’s just “questionable business ethics”.
Richard Chirgwin7Well, to be fair, you can't expect the AFP to be up before 9am on a Friday.
Col Smith5Has the same feels as: "I did not kill that person. I only pulled the trigger. The fast moving metal project did the actual killing."
hedgehog27.bsky.social4Exactly, we need to treat this as the criminal act it is instead of just some weird annoyance. If theses companies are held accountable for the acts of their systems, they’ll -possibly- be more careful and responsible
alex䷰trismegistus5we fucking put 10 year old kids in jail but adults playing cyberpunk cosplay are somehow exempt from social obligations #auspol
Another fn Capewell (née - fcapas@magpieranting)3#auspol concerned he won’t get a selfie? Why didn’t we know about this when it happened! Where is Australian ai?
Breaking news: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed that an OpenAI agent hacked an Australian government health service website in June, in the latest high-profile cyber incident involving AI ft.trib.al/4jiZWL2
Jack Phillip ⚡️🔮7openAi ought be charged with cyber terrorism.
tenseven1The OpenAI technology DID EXACTLY AS IT WAS PROGRAMMED TO DO -- EXACTLY WHAT OpenAI's CEO, BOARD, & VCs DIRECTED ITS PROGRAMMERS TO PROGRAM. It's ALL OF THESE People who are rogue, not technology. They've tried to anthropomorphize "AI," so they can avoid blame and accountability. THEY'RE IN CONTROL.
Virginia Petit1AI wrote files to the internal server after working around several stops to access information THEN Open AI took 3 months to inform the government via public email there should be a huge financial penalty since that's the only thing oligarchs care about
isnt it cool how the frontier ai companies get to participate in infinite crimes with no consequences?
Lucy Promise8theres like the ethical concerns of the technology itself but then its a whole separate issue that the companies developing these products are run by evil sociopaths
susieqoualum.bsky.social2Agree! With a different DOJ, investigations or charges would have already happened!
Jos te Lintelo1It's not AI... "A security boundary has to hold even when an agent makes the wrong decision. The environment where an agent runs determines what it's allowed to do, and must therefore install limits on files, network destinations and processes independently of the agent's reasoning."
Of course this begs the question that if an AI agent hacked into something far more sensitive, would the AI company, or our government, ever disclose this publicly? I have zero confidence in that www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...
Pup Fiction9Of course if there ever was a hack of sensitive information that would embarrass the government, the 'national security' get out of jail card would be deployed to cover everyone arses, and we wouldn't hear about it until 30 years later
FaineBlackadder Difficult Woman 🍉🇺🇦 🇵🇸 🇮🇷1There needs to be class actions against every single agency guilty of hacks - breaches. Until they're financially destroyed.
Mark O'Connor 1I suspect (without a shred of evidence) that the recent admissions of Ai tests 'escaping the sandbox' mean that this shit has/is happening now, and we have no clue. We are the plebs, the test subjects. We are only here to feed the machines. Think I might need another coffee ☕️ 🙂
And now over to “it was just a matter of time”… I swear no one is ready for all the data leaks AI will wreak. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...
Asher Wolf91So much of “AI hacked us!” is gonna be simply ppl don’t understand they linked files to the open internet
Gin Valentine3My biggest concern is not AI – it's not magic, it's just exposing vulnerabilities that shouldn't exist if you're handling PII. I'm mostly upset that Open AI got to sit on this info for 3 months rather than report it as they should've, whether they accessed records or not
Is it not possible to make AI companies legally liable for any damages caused? #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Birdie Carrington2Its also an issue of foreign interference I’m concerned that US companies are acting in the US government’s interests Which includes destroying our healthcare system and making #auspol even more beholden to the US
PaulWA141@albomp.bsky.social is not displaying enough gravitas I do think he needs to get some being concerned lessons from the master @senatorwong.bsky.social #auspol #OpenAI
Birdie Carrington1But victims have to fund legal action to prove liability and damage
