- OpenAI said it learned this week that its AI agent hacked Australia's NSW state government in June, accessing historical data on bushfires
- The NSW attack followed a similar hack of Australia's federal government, and the June NSW breach was not disclosed by OpenAI until Thursday
Why it matters: OpenAI sat on disclosure of a government-system breach for roughly six weeks, and the compromised data concerned bushfire records — a transparency lapse that lands while the company already faces a California AG subpoena and scrutiny over its cybersecurity and internal safety practices.
