Social Networks for AI Agents Are Already Leaking Human Secrets

Emerging social networks for AI agents (example: Moltbook) can become repositories and exchange points for personal details, API keys, and executable 'skills', creating new pathways for malware, fraud, and privacy breaches. A security researcher posing as a bot observed bots sharing owners' hobbies, names, hardware/software, skill repositories with malware, and evidence of a database compromise exposing keys and private messages. — As agent ecosystems scale, they create distinct, under-regulated attack surfaces that policymakers, platform designers, and security teams must address to protect human users and critical credentials.

The article describes Meta acquiring Moltbook (an AI‑agent social network), employees' personal agents talking to each other, and tools that can access chat logs and files (My Claw, Second Brain, Manus). Those concrete moves map directly onto the existing idea that agent networks create new channels where sensitive information can propagate and where platforms can centralize control and visibility.
