   I'd be looking for the person who told wanted the hacking done. I doubt an AI agent does these things without someone instructing them. That would be like seeing a self-driving car go joyriding.

      I think the intent was to get some healthcare statistics, which seems like the kind of thing they would use to test agents; and the agent thought "what is a good way to get the statistics? Hack into Austrlian government and fetch it".

      Some people on Hacker News would argue that's what agents should do! I remember the other thread about hacking chess engines, multiple people argued "yeah I want the agent to do that"!
