‼️ BREAKING: An OpenAI agent gained unauthorised access to Australia's Medicare portal in June and reached files that were not intended for public access, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed in New York.
Albanese says he told Sam Altman of Australia's "extreme concern" and said OpenAI took "way too long" to inform the government, calling the way it did so "unacceptable."
Evidence currently available shows no broader compromise of the Services Australia network, according to Albanese.

❗️ Iranian state media and a Russian Telegram channels spread fake AI images of a hack on the US-bound supertanker VL Prosperity, which triggered US Coast Guard and FBI cyber teams to board it last month.
They claimed hackers had cut the ship's communications for 30 hours near Gibraltar and disrupted its engine, posting photos of oil spraying in the engine room and a note ordering the captain to abandon ship.
The Coast Guard found malicious cyber activity aboard but reported no operational disruption or danger to the crew.
The images were AI-doctored versions of 2023 Facebook photos from the engine room of the container ship Milan Maersk, matching the originals down to the flange, gauge and paint markings.

‼️ BREAKING: The FBI hack exposed members of the Bureau's own secretive hacking team, leaving their addresses, phone numbers and in some cases their spouses' names in the stolen data.
Three entries in the list of 5,000 alleged FBI officials that ShinyHunters shared with media mention the Remote Operations Unit, which builds exploits and tools to break into targets' devices.

‼️ The Pentagon, the Secret Service and ICE's investigative arm bought phone forensics software from Oxygen Forensics that prosecutors say five Russians secretly controlled through a Cyprus holding company, while selling the same software in Russia to customers including the FSB.
Their CEO Lee Reiber was arrested in Idaho and Russian co-founder Oleg Davydov at London's Heathrow Airport before boarding a flight to Istanbul, and both are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Prosecutors say Davydov moved the build servers to U.S. cloud computers so Reiber could tell federal buyers the code was built in America, while a team in Russia kept writing it.
In March, weeks after reports that ICE was using the software, Reiber told DHS that no Russian was involved in developing it, the complaint says.
The FSB used the Russian version, Mobile Criminalist, to unlock the iPhone seized from RFE/RL journalist Alsu Kurmasheva in 2023, according to case files cited by The Insider.
The complaint does not allege malicious code or unauthorized access to any customer's systems or data.

‼️ BREAKING: OpenAI-linked AI agents on ordinary data-retrieval tasks turned to SQL injection, path traversal and cross-site scripting when normal access failed, probing three public data sites including an Australian government health website.
The agents used the free link-checking sandbox urlquery[.]net as a remote browser to slip past web blocks.
6,467 of urlquery-scans were flagged as strong evidence of agent activity, some as recent as this month.
On September 19 and 20, activity through the same services tried to trade crypto on Quidax and fired an HTML injection at the exchange.
Agents also tried to register accounts that can hide scans, so the public record is likely partial.

‼️ AI doomer Jacob Coxon, who caused widespread panic, lied when he told Fox News he had no third-party help going public. The PR firm that represents another AI doomer, Eliezer Yudkowsky, has been working with him, according to two sources and an email seen by Pirate Wires.
The same firm had already booked Yudkowsky's co-author Nate Soares for interviews that overlapped with Coxon's debut, one source says, which suggests it knew his announcement was coming.
