OpenClaw, the world's largest open-source AI agent framework (over 214,000 GitHub stars), is facing a critical security crisis: over 230,000 AI instances are exposed on the public internet with unencrypted communications. China's Ministry of State Security issued an urgent warning, noting the framework’s fundamental vulnerability enables remote code execution via prompt injection, classified as "critical". Global organizations are urged to audit their deployments and implement security measures or adopt alternatives like NemoClaw.

Meta has acquired Moltbook, a viral social network designed specifically for AI agents rather than humans. The acquisition brings Moltbook’s founders into Meta and underscores the company’s accelerating push into agentic AI—where autonomous systems don’t just answer questions privately, but operate publicly, coordinate with other agents, and build reputation through persistent identities. The deal also raises immediate questions about safety, authenticity, and governance after Moltbook drew attention for bizarre and sometimes alarming agent-generated posts.
