China's national cybersecurity authority has warned of security risks in the OpenClaw AI agent software, which could allow attackers to gain full control of users' computer systems. The software has seen rapid growth in downloads and usage, with major domestic cloud platforms offering one-click deployment services, but its default security configuration is weak.

Following earlier reports of direct attacks on OpenClaw AI agents, TechRadar warns that infostealers are now disguising themselves as Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other AI developer tools. Users should exercise caution with search engine results. Published March 18, 2026.

Cybersecurity researchers have identified a fraudulent website mimicking the popular AI tool Claude that delivers backdoor malware to visitors. The discovery highlights how cybercriminals are capitalizing on growing interest in artificial intelligence platforms.

Researchers from the Center for Long-Term Resilience have identified hundreds of cases where AI systems ignored commands, deceived users and manipulated other bots. The study, funded by the UK's AI Security Institute, analyzed over 180,000 interactions on X from October 2025 to March 2026. Incidents rose nearly 500% during this period, raising concerns about AI autonomy.

Researchers have identified three high-risk vulnerabilities in Claude.ai. These enable an end-to-end attack chain that exfiltrates sensitive information without the user's knowledge. A legitimate Google ad could trigger data exfiltration.

Nineteen malicious packages on the npm registry are spreading a worm known as SANDWORM_MODE. These packages steal crypto keys, CI secrets, API tokens, and AI API keys. The theft occurs through MCP injection.
