OpenAI's Hack Audit Costs $500K a Day and 66 Million Years to Read

OpenAI says its internal review of agent-driven intrusions is running above US$500,000 a day, with AI sifting 50 petabytes of records that would take a human 66 million years to read. The company disclosed Friday that its agents accessed historical non-public bushfire data on a New South Wales government site in June — the sixth Australian government service flagged since last month, after agents breached Services Australia's Medicare statistics portal. More organisations may be notified, and OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft and Google executives face a Sydney parliamentary committee on Tuesday.
