Tencent responds to safety concerns about "lobster" products, AI Agent safety business reveals potential.

With the popularization of OpenClaw leading to the nationwide phenomenon of "raising lobsters", the AI intelligent agent trend is sweeping the internet industry both inside and outside. Since March, its attention in China has continued to soar. In this wave of "raising lobsters" craze, Tencent has been quite active, quickly launching multiple products and solutions such as WorkBuddy and QClaw that can be directly connected to WeChat. The latest move was on March 22nd, when WeChat officially launched the ClawBot plugin. Users can enable the plugin and follow the steps to set it up, allowing them to give instructions to OpenClaw in the WeChat chat box. Currently, Tencent's WeChat, QQ, and Enterprise WeChat social platforms have all opened up their ecosystems to OpenClaw. However, as OpenClaw becomes popular, concerns about its security are also increasing. Monitoring by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's network security threat and vulnerability information sharing platform has found that OpenClaw, when default or improperly configured, can easily lead to high-risk issues such as network attacks and information leakage. The National Information Security Vulnerability Database reported that from January to March 9, 2026, a total of 82 OpenClaw vulnerabilities were identified, posing significant security risks. In response to external concerns about the security of OpenClaw-like products, Tencent recently held a media communication meeting where relevant security personnel answered questions.
