Are infostealers targeting OpenClaw?

Yes. Hudson Rock documented the first in-wild OpenClaw credential theft on February 13, 2026, using a Vidar variant. RedLine, Lumma, and AMOS infostealers have since added OpenClaw config paths to their collection targets.

What OpenClaw data do infostealers steal?

Infostealers harvest API keys, OAuth tokens, encryption keys for device impersonation, and memory files containing private conversations and calendar events from ~/.openclaw/ and legacy ~/.clawdbot/ directories.

How are OpenClaw credentials stored?

OpenClaw stores API keys, OAuth tokens, and credentials in plaintext Markdown and JSON files within local directories. There is no built-in encryption for stored credentials.

How can I protect my OpenClaw credentials from infostealers?

Use full-disk encryption, restrict file permissions on ~/.openclaw/, regularly rotate API keys, use a credential manager instead of plaintext storage, and keep your system free of malware.

Which infostealers target OpenClaw?

Vidar (first documented), RedLine, Lumma/LummaC2, and AMOS (Atomic macOS Stealer) have all been observed targeting OpenClaw configuration files. These are commodity malware-as-a-service families with configurable file grabber modules.

Infostealers Now Targeting OpenClaw: RedLine, Lumma, Vidar Add Config Paths to Must-Steal Lists

Hudson Rock documented the first in-wild OpenClaw credential theft on Feb 13, 2026. RedLine, Lumma, and Vidar infostealers now harvest API keys, OAuth tokens, and agent memory from ~/.openclaw/ directories. AMOS stealer deployed via ClawHub supply chain.

Product Idea from this Signal

A file protection agent that guards OpenClaw config files from redaction bugs that destroy API keys and infostealers that steal them

145 ▲

Running openclaw configure writes __OPENCLAW_REDACTED__ placeholders to your real config file, permanently destroying all API keys. The Studio GUI does the same. Meanwhile, RedLine, Lumma, and Vidar infostealers now specifically target OpenClaw config paths as high-value credential stores. Your configs face threats from both directions: OpenClaw's own tools corrupt them, and malware harvests them. This tool creates an encrypted, versioned vault for all OpenClaw credentials, intercepts config writes to prevent redaction damage, and monitors for infostealer access patterns.
