The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat
OpenClaw is also a security nightmare. Researchers at Simula Research Laboratory have identified 506 posts on Moltbook (2.6 percent of sampled content) containing hidden prompt-injection attacks. Cisco researchers documented a malicious skill called “What Would Elon Do?” that exfiltrated data to external servers, while the malware was ranked as the No. 1 skill in the skill repository. The skill’s popularity had been artificially inflated.

Newborn dies after mother drinks raw milk during pregnancy
Raw milk is notorious for transmitting Listeria. When exposed, pregnant people are 10 times more likely to develop a Listeria infection than other healthy adults because altered immune responses during pregnancy make it harder to fight off infections. Further, Listeria is one of a few pathogens that are able to cross the placental barrier and infect a developing fetus.
US Decline
We can reverse America’s decline -- Bernie Sanders
- We must create a vibrant democracy by ending Citizens United and preventing billionaires from buying elections.
- Whether the Democratic establishment likes it or not, we must guarantee healthcare as a human right through Medicare for All.
- We must build millions of affordable homes and apartments and give our younger generation the opportunity to own a home of their own.
- We must make public colleges, universities, trade schools and medical schools tuition-free and have the best childcare and public school system in the entire world.
- We must expand social security and bring back traditional pension plans so that every senior in this country can retire with dignity.
- We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage and guarantee every worker the right to join a union.
- We must demand that the wealthiest people and most profitable corporations in America pay their fair share in taxes.

Jeff Moss said “Vincenzo approached me for free badges and I said no, and pointed him to the Epstein Wikipedia page and tried to warn him to stay away from any involvement. I didn’t realize how deep it went. As far as I know Epstein never attended."

Nearly one in three Meta ads found to point to a scam, phishing or malware
EDR killer tool uses signed kernel driver from forensic software
The driver's certificate was issued in 2006, expired in 2010, and was subsequently revoked; however, because the Driver Signature Enforcement system on Windows works by validating cryptographic verification results and timestamps, rather than checking Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs), the operating system still accepts the old certificate.
Although Microsoft added a requirement in Windows 10 version 1607 that kernel drivers must be signed via the Hardware Dev Center, an exception was made for certificates issued before July 29, 2015, which applies in this case.
