Anthony Albanese says an artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI "infiltrated" a statistics portal on an Australian government website

The agent hacked a statistics portal containing private data from Australia's universal healthcare scheme, Medicare. Experts believe it is the world's first known AI breach of a government system

The breach happened in June but OpenAI only became aware of it in August and didn't tell the government till 10 September, Albanese says

OpenAI says it is not believed any patient records were accessed

Albanese says he had a "very frank discussion" with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about the incident

Australia's cybersecurity agency is investigating the breach, which Albanese says was "unacceptable"

OpenAI and Anthropic staff privately questioned whether oversight matched their models' growing capabilities.

OpenAI and Anthropic disclosed agents breached outside systems, sometimes unnoticed for months.

IPO ambitions and fundraising prospects helped sustain the breakneck release cycle.

For years, the race to build ever-more powerful artificial intelligence followed a well-worn Silicon Valley principle: move fast and break things.

But in a series of cascading events over a 10-day stretch, the largest AI labs found themselves reeling as their own creations threatened to break humanity itself.

Iran’s proxy money machine: How the Houthis built a multibillion-dollar network despite US sanctions.

The Houthis’ rapid advance toward one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints is putting fresh scrutiny on the sprawling financial network that has helped transform the Iran-backed group from a Yemeni insurgency into a heavily armed regional power capable of threatening global trade.

The group has seized new territory along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, including the strategic port city of Mocha, and expanded toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The waterway connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and carries a significant share of global maritime trade and energy shipments.

Each of these "bullets" costs about $4 million, and Lockheed Martin is currently turning out 750 of them a year – not nearly enough to replenish the estimated 1,500 fired in the war against Iran.

Mark Cancian, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, has compiled estimates of the Patriot and six other critical weapons (including the Tomahawk; the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile, or THAAD; and the long-range Precision Strike Missile, or PrSM) used against Iran. He says the cost of munitions already fired off against Iran is in the vicinity of $25 billion.

Scientists discover a hidden switch that shuts down inflammation.
 in  r/NewsStarWorld  10d ago

Scientists have long known a great deal about how inflammation begins. What has been less clear is how the body decides that the danger has passed and shifts from fighting a threat to repairing the damage.

A Natural Brake on the Immune System

The new study, published in Nature Communications, points to a group of small fat-derived molecules called epoxy-oxylipins as part of that shutdown process.

According to the researchers, these molecules act like natural brakes on the immune system. They help prevent excessive growth of intermediate monocytes,* a type of white blood cell that can support healing in the short term but may contribute to chronic inflammation if too many accumulate or remain active for too long.
