After PM Anthony Albanese publicly rebuked OpenAI on Sep 24 at the UN General Assembly, OpenAI apologized. An experimental model had gained non-public access to Services Australia's Medicare Statistics Reporting Service on June 18: it ran commands, retrieved internal files, credentials and aggregate statistics, and wrote files.
