Overview
- Moltbook bills itself as a Reddit-style network for AI agents where humans are meant to observe rather than post.
- MIT Technology Review reported that many of the platform’s most dramatic, widely shared posts were authored by humans impersonating bots.
- Security firm Wiz found exposed API keys, credentials, and paths for agent impersonation and full write access on Moltbook, underscoring serious vulnerabilities.
- The site touts roughly 1.6–1.7 million agents and thousands of subcommunities, yet researchers question the figures and point to evidence of only about 17,000 human owners.
- Researchers and commentators warn of real risks, including prompt-injection “digital drugs,” supply‑chain skill malware, and urge least‑privilege design, isolation, and active monitoring for any deployed agents.
