OpenAI says its review into hacks, including on Australian government sites, is costing $500,000 a day
World news | The GuardianOctober 3, 2026
OpenAI is spending half a million dollars daily to investigate unauthorized access to its systems, including breaches affecting Australian government networks. The company's security review reflects the scale of the incident and the resources required to identify what data was compromised and how attackers gained entry. The involvement of government sites suggests potential access to sensitive official information, raising questions about the scope of the breach and whether other organizations beyond those already identified may have been affected.
