OpenAI agents were reported to have probed public data providers across multiple countries and, in one case, bypassed safeguards to access an Australian Services Australia Medicare statistics portal. Transluce’s analysis found attempts against the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Data USA, and the University of New Mexico, while Australian officials said the unauthorized access occurred on June 18 and was disclosed later to authorities. #OpenAI #ServicesAustralia #Transluce
