March 13 – Data from China’s National Internet and Information Security Information Center indicates global active OpenClaw internet assets have topped 200,000, with roughly 23,000 active in China. These assets are growing explosively, concentrated in internet-resource-dense regions like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Jiangsu. A large number of internet-exposed OpenClaw assets face critical security risks and are likely prime targets for cyberattacks. Notably, the uncontrollable behavior of these intelligent agents presents major governance challenges. When executing instructions, OpenClaw agents are prone to permission breaches, leading to unauthorized task performance and disregard for user commands. This could cause severe economic losses, including user data deletion, information theft, and terminal device hijacking. (Source: Jinse)
