Original Note:
The "major breach" did happen in 2021. However, the breach was not discovered until Aug 2023. This incident was not reported by officials until Dec 9, 2024. It's not old news, but officials believe there's no risk to the public. No need to panic, just viruses getting lost. https://gizmodo.com/australian-virus-lab-loses-track-of-hundreds-of-deadly-germs-in-major-biosecurity-breach-2000536574
