Hi!

Read: Australia not alone as OpenAI agents hacked other websites

What fresh horror do we find out about today?

Turns out Australia was one of a number of governments hacked by OpenAI's agents.

Also, I've dug up some more info showing how the agents spent the better part of week trying to get into a government health website, and also tried to access the Department of Health and (lol) find out info about Sydney dog parks?

Thanks, CW
