CertiK has advised ordinary users “who are not security professionals, developers, or experienced geeks” against installing and using OpenClaw.
The widespread integration of AI assistants such as OpenClaw introduces critical security risks that open up users to unauthorized actions, data exposure, system compromises and drained crypto wallets, according to cybersecurity firm CertiK.
OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI agent that integrates with messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Slack, and Telegram and can autonomously take actions on users’ computers, such as managing email, calendars, and files.
It’s estimated there are around 2 million active monthly users of the platform, according to Openclaw.vps. A McKinsey study in November revealed that 62% of survey respondents said their organizations were already experimenting with AI agents.
