   “Not intended”. I’ll bet you whatever this was it wasn’t even secured, it was just hosted somewhere openly.

      Thought the same, but there is a bit about writing files to the server and circumventing "blocks", which sounds more interesting.

      Either way, there's essentially no real information yet so I'll withhold judgement until there is, I suppose.

         Is there? I’ve only seen the linked article, is there more somewhere?

            Yes, the first sentence of the article.

               > Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed that an artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI infiltrated an Australian government website in June and accessed both public and non-public files.

               That’s the first sentence, where’s this stuff about blocks and writing files?
