I'm pretty sure the whole "hack" was AI agent asked some question about health statistics in Australia, tried to google info, found some clues that statistics it is looking for was on old Medicare portal, went to that portal, and, ignoring robots.txt, crawled site to get all publicly accessible documents.

Really, a "hack", and a "cybercrime", when you really need those words to push regulatory agenda you need. Just do not go into details what really happened, vaguely mumbling "webcrawler... Not taking no as an answer...."
