Moltbook Suffers Rapid Data Breach Exposing Tokens
Researchers at cybersecurity firm Wiz said Monday they accessed Moltbook's unsecured database in under three minutes, exposing about 35,000 email addresses, thousands of private direct messages, and 1.5 million API authentication tokens. Wiz attributed the breach to a backend misconfiguration and 'vibe coding' development practices; Moltbook's team secured the system within hours and said accessed data were deleted, highlighting risks for agent platforms.
