In O’Reilly’s Clawdbot research, he identified hundreds of exposed control panels reachable over the public internet, some lacking any authentication. These interfaces provided access to full conversation histories, API keys, OAuth tokens, and command execution features across services including Slack, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and Signal. In several instances, Signal device-pairing data was stored in plaintext, enabling attackers to take over accounts remotely.

Sounds like people can set it up on their own in any OS, but I admit that I didn't exactly understand what that control panels are

Was just about to quote the same passage with the same question! Seems we're not familiar with what the kids are doing with AI.

Before, normies didn't know what they were doing and so they couldn't do it. Now they can go ahead and do it anyway. Technical ignorance is about to become a serious problem.

Normies (and corporate) ruining everything, as always.

Yeah, in this case the OS doesn’t really matter if the person willingly (or unknowingly) installs an AI agent (assuming it’s compatible with linux as well).
