critical weaknesses in how AI-driven tools interact with sensitive systems. The most alarming aspect was not the breach itself, but the nearly three-month delay in reporting it to relevant authorities, which compounds legal, ethical, and reputational harm. Government portals housing sensitive health data must enforce strict access controls, including MFA, least-privilege principles, and API rate-limiting to prevent automated agents from exploiting entry points.
