- OpenAI discovered the Australian breach in August but didn't alert the government until September 10, a delay of several weeks.
- The September 10 notification was sent to a generic disclosure address rather than a direct contact, a choice the report flags as raising questions about OpenAI's protocol for rogue AI incidents.
