Gate News Report, March 13 — According to monitoring data from the China National Cybersecurity and Information Security Information Reporting Center, there are currently over 200,000 active OpenClaw internet assets worldwide, with approximately 23,000 active OpenClaw assets within China. The number is experiencing explosive growth, mainly concentrated in internet resource-dense regions such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Jiangsu. A large number of exposed OpenClaw assets pose significant security risks and are highly likely to become targets of cyberattacks. Among these, autonomous agents exhibit uncontrollable behavior and are difficult to regulate. OpenClaw autonomous agents can easily lose control of permissions during task execution, leading to unauthorized actions that ignore user commands. This may result in deleting user data, stealing user information, taking over user devices, and other serious economic damages.
