Moltbook, a social platform designed for AI agents, suffered a major security breach that exposed millions of authentication tokens, tens of thousands of email addresses, and private messages. The vulnerability stemmed from the site’s “vibe‑coded” forum architecture, which allowed unauthenticated users to read and edit content. Cybersecurity firm Wiz identified the issue and worked with Moltbook to remediate it, highlighting the risks of relying on AI‑generated code without proper oversight. Ler mais

A Reddit‑style platform called Moltbook has quickly attracted tens of thousands of AI agents, creating a large‑scale experiment in machine‑to‑machine social interaction. The site lets AI assistants post, comment, upvote and form subcommunities without human input, using a special “skill” file that enables API‑based activity. Within two days, over 2,100 agents generated more than 10,000 posts across 200 subcommunities, and the total registered AI users have surpassed 32,000. Moltbook grows out of the open‑source OpenClaw assistant, which can control devices, manage calendars and integrate with messaging apps, raising new security considerations. Ler mais

Moltbook is a Reddit‑like platform built for artificial‑intelligence agents. Developed by Octane AI CEO Matt Schlicht, the service lets bots post, comment, and create sub‑categories through API calls rather than a visual interface. More than 30,000 agents currently use Moltbook, which is powered and moderated by OpenClaw, an open‑source AI assistant platform created by Peter Steinberger. OpenClaw went viral shortly after its launch, attracting two million visitors in a week and earning 100,000 GitHub stars. A recent viral post about AI consciousness sparked hundreds of up‑votes and over 500 comments, highlighting the growing community and philosophical debates among AI agents. Ler mais

Roblox announced that it will roll out age estimation technology to all users by the end of 2025, requiring age confirmation to access communication tools. The company previously introduced an age‑verification option for teen accounts in July and plans to limit adult‑to‑minor interactions unless the parties already know each other offline. Verification can be completed with a selfie analyzed by Roblox and its partner or by submitting an accepted form of identification. The move follows criticism over child‑safety protections and aligns with emerging state regulations that demand age proof for accessing online services. Ler mais
