The country’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it had discovered instances where users were operating OpenClaw with inadequate security settings and said better precautions needed to be taken.
The warning doesn’t constitute an outright ban. But the ministry cautioned that organizations deploying OpenClaw should conduct thorough audits of public network exposure, implement robust identity authentication and access controls. OpenClaw has had a viral rise since it was first introduced in November, receiving more than 100 000 stars on code repository GitHub and drawing in 2 million visitors in a single week, according to a blog post by its Creator, Peter Steinberger.
It has also been growing in popularity among Chinese technology enthusiasts, with cloud service providers rushing to offer hosting solutions for the rapidly growing platform.
