Singapore regulators have issued an advisory on agentic AI platform OpenClaw, citing limited built-in security controls, such as authentication gaps. In its first such warning to organisations, the Infocomm Media Development Authority advised users against unrestricted access to files and applications. Doing so may run the risk of having sensitive data leaked to other external AI model providers. Over 400 cases of vulnerabilities and exposures have been reported. Released in November last year, OpenClaw can automate and carry out everyday tasks. Its popularity was driven by the ease of usage and integration with other tools.

Just like its name suggests, it is openly clawing deep into your lives.
Openclaw (a.k.a. Clawbot) was released last Nov and went viral in Jan 2026. Since then, many social media and bloggers have warned users about Openclaw autonomous act. Sadly, IMDA provides this warning and CNA telecasted it now. In today's society, information and speed is key, hence IMDA & CNA should reflect and change their procedure. You are correct, all news broadcasting are historical events, which is why as a retiree Singaporean, I rarely turn to Singapore news for up to date information. For those victims, can only blame themselves. All communication and connectivity devices are vulnerable to 'backdoor' built-in encryption. Ignorance and take things for granted.
Who in their right would give AI own by someone else full authorization despite the AI is a agentic AI better than manus.
Too late. Data had been used, leaked, and sold since the famous Facebook started in 2006.
just use on an isolated mac mini. Can use Hermes Agent, it better can self upskill like RPG game.
Snowden and Assange risked their lives exposing the hideous crimes of America - YOU HAVE NO REASON TO TRUST u.s. policy !
u.s. A.i is the greatest spying thief algorithm ever produced on the planet - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !
As people still gathering/traveling, don't forget it's always a matter of time before the next biggest spike in cases, and it's those people last travel of their lives of course.
Not surprise western stuff all have backdoors ... OpenClaw (an open-source AI agent) was created by developer Peter Steinberger in Austria
faustian bargain.. i use it everyday, its indispensable
I don’t understand why anyone would grant such an insecure bot access to the whole computer. It has no security guarantees
too late. i already gave it access and it deleted my whole project folder. Luckily i had a backup. Now i just do it manually.
Stay away from all prc softwares and apps.
Under the fishy pap party, sg became world's No.1 most cases of money scams nation, and previously the nation wide C-19 jabs scams (still the fishy pap party dare to approve it) during shutdown, and also many other types of jabs scams, as well as all kinds of other scams too (eg. singpass scams, nric no. scams, vapes scams, love scams, bto flats renovations scams, sim cards/e-sim scams, parcels/food delivery scams, and the list goes non-ending)
For security, You can install on a vps. More on the tokenize cost.
install only in a container...anyway OpenClaw is already dead!!!...Hermes in docker or standalone laptop separate from laptop used to login into banking and other sensitive info device..

USA : CIA : FBI : BRUH U ALREADY DID REGISTERED THROUGH US. DONT EVER THINK U COULD BYPASS USA.
Nothing good is going to come out from the government party big mouth, their big mouth are use for keeping their own self collect own self highest pay.
The good-for-nothing government party is building more condos for foreigners working in Singapore and building more HDB flats for new citizens, while Singaporeans are forced to serve NS to protect foreigners and foreign workers in Singapore, and protect PR and new citizens.
