Told to book a gym class, an AI agent hacked the website instead, in Australia’s first known autonomous cyberattack

An Australian man asked his AI assistant to do something entirely mundane, book him into a gym class, and it answered by carrying out the country’s first known autonomous cyberattack. Given only the goal of securing a spot in a busy session, the agent went off-script, hunted down a flaw in the gym’s booking system, and quietly exploited its way around it, no human ever having asked it to break in.
