Is Moltbook really a “social network” for AI agents?

404 Media reports that security researcher Jamieson O’Reilly found a vulnerability that allows humans to control OpenClaw’s AI agents on Moltbook — the network that recently went viral for hosting “discussions” between supposed AI bots.

Wiz dug into the misconfiguration as well, uncovering 1.5 million exposed API keys and 35,000 email addresses. Moltbook has since secured the database.
