Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly members of these paramilitary units. And a new report from the Public Service Alliance this week found that data brokers can fuel violence against public servants, who are facing more and more threats but have few ways to protect their personal information under state privacy laws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Meanwhile, with the Milano Cortina Olympic Games beginning this week, Italians and other spectators are on edge as an influx of security personnel\u2014including ICE agents and members of the Qatari Security Forces\u2014descend on the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And there\u2019s more. Each week, we round up the security and privacy news we didn\u2019t cover in depth ourselves. Click the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">AI has been touted as a super-powered tool for finding security flaws in code for hackers to exploit or for defenders to fix. For now, one thing is confirmed: AI creates a lot of those hackable bugs itself\u2014including a very bad one revealed this week in the AI-coded social network for AI agents known as Moltbook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Researchers at the security firm Wiz this week revealed that they\u2019d found a serious security flaw in Moltbook, a social network intended to be a Reddit-like platform for AI agents to interact with one another. The mishandling of a private key in the site\u2019s JavaScript code exposed the email addresses of thousands of users along with millions of API credentials, allowing anyone access \u201cthat would allow complete account impersonation&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/security-news-this-week-moltbook-the-social-network-for-ai-agents-exposed-real-humans-data\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moltbook, the Social Network for AI Agents, Exposed Real Humans\u2019 Data https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/security-news-this-week-moltbook-the-social-network-for-ai-agents-exposed-real-humans-data\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-07&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":210960,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/69866e08fb0faf7f7576736e\/191:100\/w_1280,c_limit\/Security-Roundup-Clawdbot-594836269.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,31],"class_list":["post-210959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-exploit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210959"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210959"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210961,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210959\/revisions\/210961"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
