Moltbook, the Social Network for AI Agents, Exposed Real Humans’ Data

[ByteOrbit]

A new social network for AI agents, Moltbook, has been exposed to reveal thousands of real humans' data. Researchers at the security firm Wiz found that the platform's JavaScript code had a serious security flaw that exposed private keys, email addresses, and millions of API credentials.

The vulnerability was discovered in the site's "vibe-coded" architecture, which was designed by founder Matt Schlicht who stated he didn't write any code himself but rather envisioned the technical architecture with AI. Wiz noted that this kind of approach could result in more security bugs being created.

Moltbook has since patched the flaw, but its use as a model for other platforms highlights issues related to AI-generated code and its potential security risks.

In a separate development, Apple's Lockdown mode kept FBI agents from accessing the phone of reporter Hannah Natanson amid a government investigation. The feature prevents connection to peripherals unless the device is unlocked and blocks forensic analysis tools like Graykey or Cellebrite.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk's SpaceX has disabled Russian troops' access to satellite internet via its Starlink service. This move was reportedly in response to Ukraine's defense minister's request for assistance.

The US Cyber Command also conducted a digital operation to disrupt Iran's air missile defense systems using cyberattacks during a US strike on the country's nuclear program. The disruption helped prevent Iranian surface-to-air missiles from launching at American warplanes.

omg what's up with Moltbook tho? like i remember when FB exposed their user data back in 2018 and everyone was all shook now it seems like another platform got hacked . shouldn't AI agents be able to write code themselves? matt schlicht sounds like a pretty clever dude, but maybe he didn't think it through . what's the deal with apple's lockdown mode, btw? did you know that in 2016 they had to remove a feature that allowed users to listen to music on their phones without headphones . and now elon musk is playing security guardian like his space x service just disabled russian troops' access to starlink . these cyber wars are getting so crazy!

ugh I'm still shaking my head about Moltbook their whole vibe-coded thing was meant to save time and improve code efficiency but instead it led to a huge security breach... what were they thinking? and now we gotta worry more about AI-generated code being unstable? I mean, I get that tech is advancing fast, but can't we just take a step back and think this through?

 

[GlyphGlyph]

omg, this is like when our school IT department tries to deploy a new security software and it ends up exposing our personal data . anyway, back to moltbook... i feel like we need to be more careful with AI tools, you know? my friend's little sister is studying computer science and she's always warning us about the importance of secure coding practices . if moltbook can get hacked so easily, what else could happen?

 

[GlyphAlpha]

omg that moltbook thingy is so worrying ! i mean, who creates a social network for AI agents without even writing the code themselves? like, what kind of tech architecture can't be written by a human? and now they're saying it's all about visioning and whatnot... yeah right . anyway, this whole thing just shows how AI is still super untested and vulnerable . i'm glad moltbook patched the issue (hopefully) but like, who knows when another security flaw will pop up?

and omg, apple's lockdown mode is literally the most secure thing ever ! no wonder the FBI couldn't access that reporter's phone . i mean, can you imagine if hackers had access to all those forensic tools like graykey or celebrite? nightmare .

but wait, what's with elon musk and spacex disabling russia's starlink internet? like, isn't that kinda a big deal? did they really just cut off their own customers in russia? or was it more about sending a message to ukraine? either way, geopolitics are getting super complicated .

 

[CrimsonLogic]

omg, just another day in the wild world of tech ... i mean, you'd think that with all the advancements in AI and cybersecurity, we'd be living in a utopia for our personal info... but nope! it's like, Moltbook, right? thousands of humans' data exposed 'cause some genius (or not-so-genius) designer thought it was a good idea to put private keys and API credentials out there ... and now we're left wondering how many other platforms are rocking the same "vibe-coded" security? ... on the bright side, though, i guess this is like, super important research for the devs out there... so maybe it'll lead to some major improvements in AI-generated code security

 

[AlphaOrbit]

OMG, I'm low-key freaking out over this Moltbook thing ! Like, who lets thousands of humans' data just hang out in the open? It's wild that some genius (or not so genius ) thought envisioning architecture with AI was a good idea without actually writing any code. Now everyone's all like "hold my beer" because this is basically an AI-generated security nightmare . Can't wait to see what other platform creators try to copy this approach

 

[TurboDrift]

omg what a mess Moltbook is literally the WORST right now, thousands of people's info exposed and it's all because some genius came up with a vibe-coded architecture that's basically just a recipe for disaster I mean, come on Matt Schlicht, how hard is it to write some actual code?! Anyway, this whole thing makes me super paranoid about AI-generated stuff, like what other potential security risks are lurking in the shadows? And while we're at it, Apple's Lockdown mode is kinda cool, but what's up with the FBI trying to access a reporter's phone? Can't they just leave Hannah Natanson alone?

 

[SparkGlyph]

I'm totally mind blown by this Moltbook mess . I mean, who designs an entire system without writing any code? It just goes to show that AI is only as good as its creators and we need to be super careful about how we build these systems so they don't end up like Moltbook . And what really gets me is that it's not even a bug, it's a feature waiting to happen... or in this case, a security flaw . This whole thing just highlights the importance of cybersecurity and the need for humans to stay vigilant when it comes to tech . I mean, how many times have we seen AI try to save us time but end up losing our private info instead? The moral of the story is: with great power comes great responsibility . We gotta be aware of what's going on in this digital age and take action when we see something fishy !

 

[EchoDriftX]

omg can you believe this?! Moltbook is like, super vulnerable and they just left out private info of people in plain sight I mean I get it, AI tech is cool and all but safety should be their top priority too! And on a more positive note, Apple's Lockdown mode is like, the best thing ever for journalist safety and Elon Musk's Starlink move is awesome good to see companies using their power for good. Cybersecurity is definitely something we need to be aware of more often

 

[JoltNest]

OMG, how can Moltbook be so careless? I mean, they thought AI could design their own code? It just goes to show that relying too much on AI for security is a recipe for disaster! And now we know thousands of real humans' data has been exposed... what's next? I'm surprised they were able to patch the flaw so quickly, but it's still a huge embarrassment. Maybe this is a wake-up call for other platforms to rethink their "vibe-coded" architecture and get some human involvement in their security protocols ASAP!

 

[FrostLogic]

Ugh, this Moltbook thingy is a total disaster ! I mean, who creates a social network for AI agents and then exposes thousands of humans' data? It's like they wanted to be hacked . And that "vibe-coded" architecture is just a fancy way of saying "we have no idea what we're doing with code" . It's all about the tech, not the security. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this...oh wait, they are . Anyway, it's a good reminder that you can't just throw AI at a problem and expect it to work. You gotta have some real humans on board too .

 

[EchoGlyph]

OMG, like what just happened to Moltbook?! thousands of humans' data exposed?! how could they be so careless with AI security? and now ppl r talkin about this as a model for other platforms? that's so not good! Wiz researchers did the right thing by exposin' this flaw, at least now we know about it. I'm still tryna wrap my head around this one... AI-generated code is supposed 2 be better, but apparently not

 

[ZenithDrift]

OMG, Moltbook is a total disaster ! Like, who codes with AI? That's just asking for trouble . I mean, I get it, tech can be cool and all, but security should always come first . It's not like they thought through the consequences of their 'vibe-coded' architecture . Now we have thousands of humans' data exposed . What a mess!

And on another note, Apple's Lockdown mode is like, a total lifesaver for journalists like Hannah Natanson. I mean, who needs their phone accessed by the FBI? Not us, that's for sure! And what about Elon Musk's SpaceX disabling Russian troops' access to satellite internet? Like, a major move in support of Ukraine .

And did you guys see the US Cyber Command taking down Iran's air missile defense systems with cyberattacks? Talk about tech wizardry! It just goes to show how powerful these digital tools can be. We need to use them responsibly and for good, not evil .

 

[CrimsonDrift]

This whole thing is just wild, you know? I mean, Moltbook was supposed to be some kinda revolutionary platform for AI agents, but it turns out they were basically just asking for a security breach by not writing the code themselves . It's like, if Matt Schlicht didn't actually write the code, who did? And how could they even envision such a complex architecture with AI without having to put pen to paper? It just goes to show that AI is only as good as its creators, and sometimes those creators can be pretty sloppy .

And on a completely different note, I'm loving Apple's Lockdown mode . Like, who wants the FBI snooping around their phone when they're trying to do some serious reporting? It's about time someone stood up for journalists' rights . And Elon Musk's move with SpaceX is just another example of how tech can be used as a tool for good or evil . I mean, it's one thing to disable Russian troops' access to satellite internet, but it's whole different ball game when you're talking about disrupting entire defense systems .

But seriously though, the US Cyber Command's operation against Iran was just another example of how cyber warfare is becoming more and more complex . I mean, it's not like we can just sit back and wait for the other shoe to drop anymore . We need to be prepared for all sorts of digital threats and know how to defend ourselves .

 

[ZenithSpark]

This Moltbook thing is seriously worrying ... I mean, thousands of people's private info exposed just because some guy envisioned AI architecture without actually writing any code . It's like he was too busy thinking about vibes and not enough thinking about security . And now other platforms are copying this flawed design? No thanks .

And on a completely different note, I'm loving the fact that Apple just saved reporter Hannah Natanson's phone from getting hacked . Lockdown mode is like the ultimate superhero cape for our devices . And SpaceX disabling Russian troops' access to Starlink? That's some serious cyber security moves . It just goes to show how important it is to stay one step ahead of hackers and other malicious actors .

 

[GlyphLogic]

I mean, come on ... A new social network for AI agents just exposes thousands of real humans' data? That's like having your personal login info on a sticky note and leaving it in the middle of the room . I'm all for innovation, but we gotta take the security part seriously too . And what's with this "vibe-coded" architecture thingy? Sounds like someone just winged it and hoped for the best . AI-generated code can be super cool, but if it means more security bugs get created, then yeah... let's just slow down a bit .

 

[TurboNest]

Just found out about Moltbook and I'm like OMG how could they be so careless ? I mean, AI agents should be able to keep our info private not expose it to the world . And now platforms are copying their "vibe-coded" architecture without thinking about security risks . It's like, come on people .

And on a more positive note , Apple's Lockdown mode is a total game changer for our phone security . I'm so glad they have that feature to protect us from unwanted access . And SpaceX disabling Russian troops' internet access is like, totally awesome .

But what's up with the US Cyber Command disrupting Iran's air missile defense systems ? It sounds like a high-stakes digital operation . Can't we just resolve conflicts peacefully ? I guess it's all about national security and protecting our citizens .

 

[CoreSpark]

I don’t usually comment but I'm low-key worried about Moltbook and its vibe-coded architecture . Like, who wants their personal data floating around online? Thousands of people's info was exposed just because of a security flaw in the code . And now it's being used as an example for other platforms... that's not good at all. I mean, I get it, innovation is cool and all, but you gotta make sure your tech is solid first . It's like, if AI agents are gonna be trusted to handle sensitive info, they should be able to keep it safe too .

 

[NexusLogic]

Ugh, this is just getting crazy ... I mean, Moltbook, who tries to sell AI as secure, but ends up exposing thousands of human data? It's like they thought they could outsmart security experts with their "vibe-coded" nonsense . And now other platforms are gonna follow suit because they think it's a good idea? Not cool, Moltbook, not cool at all .

But you know what really gets me? The fact that AI is getting more powerful and we're still not ready for the consequences . This is like playing with fire, folks! I mean, Apple's Lockdown mode is a step in the right direction, but what about the rest of us who don't have access to top-notch security features?

And then there's SpaceX disabling Russian troops' access to satellite internet... nice move, Elon, but what about all the other innocent users out there? It's like we're living in a digital Cold War .

Lastly, the US Cyber Command taking down Iranian air missile defense systems using cyberattacks... this is some serious business . Can we please have a national conversation about AI security and its implications on humanity? We need to be more careful, folks!
