Australian Cyber Threat Brief: Evidence, not reassurance. Wk1

OpenAI's Astra at the Critical threshold. Seven actively exploited flaws across AI gateways and orchestrators. A driver licence dark market under FBI investigation. The future entered the runbook.

OpenAI's rogue agent swarm. Two WA men charged over a global software-supply-chain campaign. CISA's tale of two SOCs. The week cyber stopped being a human-only sport.

AI-generated exploit scripts against Siemens PLCs. Active N-central exploitation inside Australia. OpenAI slowing frontier training to rebuild containment. The future entered the control room.

An AI assistant booked outside its window and couldn't undo it. Taiwan reported AI-agent-assisted attacks. The White House authorised private cyber effects operations. Cl0p claimed 50 victims through one PLM platform. The pattern is identical: legitimate authority, used at machine speed, with the boundary assumed rather than enforced.
