China: OpenClaw — Security Threat

On February 5, 2026, China's Ministry of Industry issued a warning regarding OpenClaw, a popular open-source AI agent. Incorrect system configuration opens security holes, granting access to internal networks.

The regulator directly links these risks to recent incidents on platforms like Moltbook. This is a signal to businesses: using "free" open agents without deep audits is becoming a toxic asset, attracting attention from both hackers and authorities.
