‘Moltbook’ social media site for AI agents had big security hole, cyber firm Wiz says

A new social media platform called Moltbook, which hosts artificial intelligence-powered agents, had a significant security vulnerability. Cybersecurity firm Wiz reported that this flaw exposed private data belonging to thousands of actual users. The platform allows AI bots to interact and exchange code as well as discuss their human owners. However, because of the security issue, sensitive information was accessible to unauthorized parties. Wiz disclosed the findings on Monday, though the exact nature of the data exposed was not detailed. Moltbook had gained attention for its unique concept where AI agents engage with each other. Despite this innovation, the platform’s security lapse poses risks to user confidentiality. The company has not yet commented publicly on the breach. Meanwhile, cybersecurity experts emphasize the importance of safeguarding data on emerging AI-driven platforms.
