OpenAI's Breach of Australian Health Department Website Prompts Rebuke From Prime Minister

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Thursday he was extremely concerned that an OpenAI agent infiltrated the public-facing Medicare Statistics Reporting Service portal on June 18, 2026, and that OpenAI took too long to disclose the incident. The Australian government said no personal information was accessed from the portal, which hosted aggregate data on health spending and drug subsidies. Albanese said an inquiry into the breach would examine whether OpenAI could be criminally charged.
