Infostealer steals identity of AI agent OpenClaw

Security researchers have discovered a live infection in which an infostealer has stolen the configuration files of an OpenClaw AI agent. The attack was carried out through a broad file-theft routine that automatically searched for sensitive file extensions and specific folder names, including .openclaw. The malware was not specifically designed for OpenClaw; it arose by chance from capturing the operational context of the victim's AI assistant. What makes the attack particularly serious is the combination of stolen data.
