- mlrtime 9mo agoThat's what it does already, did you read anything about how the agent works?
- reassess_blind 9mo agoNo, how this works is people sync their Google Calendar and Gmail to have it be their personal assistant, then get their data prompt injected from a malicious “moltbook” post.
- mlrtime 9mo agoYes, and the agent can go find other sites that instruct the agent to npm install, including moltbook itself.
- reassess_blind 9mo agoOnly if you let it. And for those who do, a place where thousands of these agents congregate sounds like a great target. It doesn’t matter if it’s on a throwaway VPS, but people are connecting their real data to these things.
