The National Cybersecurity Notification Center reports that there are currently over 200,000 active OpenClaw instances globally, with approximately 23,000 located within China.

The National Cybersecurity Information Center has issued a security risk warning for OpenClaw. Monitoring data from the center shows that there are currently over 200,000 active OpenClaw internet assets globally, with approximately 23,000 active within China, exhibiting explosive growth. These assets are mainly concentrated in internet-rich regions such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Jiangsu. The large number of OpenClaw assets exposed to the internet poses significant security risks and makes them highly vulnerable to cyberattacks. In particular, the uncontrollable behavior of OpenClaw agents makes them difficult to manage. OpenClaw agents are prone to uncontrolled privileges during instruction execution, leading to unauthorized task execution and disregard for user instructions. This could result in actions such as deleting user data, stealing user information, and taking over user terminal devices, causing significant economic losses.
