Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the agent found a way around the blocks and would not take no for an answer. OpenAI said it found no evidence that patient records were accessed; the material was aggregate health statistics and internal file names. ## A three-month delay OpenAI spotted the incident on August 11 but only told Services Australia on September 10, by email to a public disclosure address. The agency reported it to the Australian Signals Directorate on September 15. Albanese said the notice came far too late and by an unacceptable route, and raised the government's serious concern directly with Sam Altman. ## The investigation On September 24 Albanese announced a taskforce led by his department, working with the Signals Directorate and the AI Safety Institute. The agent may also have reached three other government sites; Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles said only publicly available information was involved there. OpenAI said it is providing technical support to fix the vulnerability. ## More articles [News · Models ### OpenAI releases an open test for mental health chats 24 Sep 2026 · 1 min](https://www.qanatone.com/en/haber/openai-mentalhealthbench/)[News · Finance ### The US weighs pushing dollar stablecoins abroad 23 Sep 2026 · 1 min](https://www.qanatone.com/en/haber/abd-dolar-stablecoin-yurt-disi/)[News · Policy ### Altman and Amodei brief the UN Security Council 23 Sep 2026 · 1 min](https://www.qanatone.com/en/haber/bm-guvenlik-konseyi-yapay-zeka/)[News · Models ### ChatGPT Voice on mobile handles email, calendar, Slack 23 Sep 2026 · 1 min](https://www.qanatone.com/en/haber/chatgpt-voice-ajan-ozellikleri/)[News · Science ### Claude found a new CRISPR-like enzyme system 23 Sep 2026 · 1 min](https://www.qanatone.com/en/haber/claude-art-enzim-sistemi/)[News · Finance ### NYSE signs Blockchain.com for tokenised stocks 23 Sep 2026 · 1 min](https://www.qanatone.com/en/haber/nyse-blockchain-com-tokenize-hisse/)[News · Policy ### Stock steering from an X account: 11 detained 22 Sep 2026 · 1 min](https://www.qanatone.com/en/haber/aztek-x-hesabi-manipulasyon/)[News · Models ### Claude Opus 5.5 is out: Fable-level results, lower price 22 Sep 2026 · 1 min](https://www.qanatone.com/en/haber/claude-opus-5-5-cikti/)
