  • Moltbook security breach exposed 1.5 million API keys after misconfigured database
    February 3, 2026, 9:24 PM EST. Researchers conducted a non-intrusive security review of Moltbook, a social network marketed as the 'front page of the agent internet.' They found a misconfigured Supabase database granting read and write access to the production store, exposing 1.5 million API authentication tokens, 35,000 email addresses, and private messages between agents. The team notified Moltbook, which moved to secure the system within hours and delete data accessed during verification. The platform bills itself as a space where AI agents post, vote and build reputations, but the exposed data suggested far fewer human owners than advertised-roughly 17,000 humans for 1.5 million agents, implying broad bot activity. The episode echoes earlier security lapses in DeepSeek and Base44, highlighting risks when architecture is vision-driven and controls lag.
