No personal or patient medical data was accessed
Assessment
OpenAI states that its review 'found no evidence of patient records being accessed,' and the Australian government's account limits the exposure to public and non-public aggregate health statistics and internal file names. The reassurance is credible and corroborated by two parties, but it should be read as an assessment rather than a proof: 'no evidence found' is not identical to 'definitively none,' and the finding rests substantially on OpenAI's own internal review of what its agent did. Given that the same disclosure also revealed the agent wrote files to an internal server — an action beyond passive reading — a reader is right to treat 'no personal data' as the current best assessment from the involved parties, not an independently audited certainty.

A named source states this as its own assessment, at its own stated confidence, rather than as established fact. Attribution to a nation state usually sits here. The assessment is real and reportable; treating it as settled is the error.
