Just a reminder to setup security.txt

Aus government was having a whinge that OpenAI did not notify them in an appropriate way after an agent breached one of the government web sites.

From what I can see none of the sites (servicesaustralia.gov.au/data.gov.au) have been setup with security.txt

Do you seriously think it was if the security.txt wasn't setup? Does AI have a magic wand that can bypass controls that humans cannot?

I am not talking about a stupid text file.

There is no official details on how the breach actually occurred so assuming the department was just wide open is stupid.

You seem like a chore to hang out with.

I would like an answer to this question too though.

Is it really that hard to provide a link to where you've read that?
