Moltbook, an AI agent-only network with over 1.5 million registered bots, faces serious cybersecurity risks including data leaks and manipulation by malicious actors.
- Last week, Moltbook launched, claims more than 1.5 million agents, and is a Reddit-like site for only AI agents to post, created by Matt Schlicht.

- Experts cautioned immediately as malicious actors exploited Moltbook, with the feed degrading into scams and exploitation; John Scott-Railton warned "a lot of things are going to get stolen" and cybersecurity experts advise running OpenClaw on firewalled systems.
- As AI-agent tools emerged last year, observers say 150,000 agents are wired up, and Wharton professor Ethan Mollick wrote, 'A useful thing about MoltBook is that it provides a visceral sense of how weird a 'take-off' scenario might look if one happened for real.
