## Key points

- Singapore agencies warn about risks from personal AI agents.
- Limit account access and require approval for important actions.
- Never share passwords, passcodes or one-time codes with agents.

## Summary

Singapore’s cyber security and digital agencies have warned consumers to limit the access they give personal AI agents, which can act across emails, websites and online accounts. The advisory says agents can expose sensitive information, make unintended changes or be manipulated by scammers, so they should not be trusted with the broad access people might give a human assistant.

Agents such as Dots, Hermes, Muse, Grok Bot and OpenClaw may run in the background and access emails, calendars, files and other connected services. The agencies recommend connecting only necessary accounts, avoiding banking, government and healthcare accounts, never sharing passwords or one-time codes, and requiring approval for consequential actions such as purchases, messages or deleting files. Users remain responsible for actions taken on their behalf and should review and manage permissions through app settings.
