For everyday users: don't install OpenClaw on your work machine—use dedicated devices, virtual machines, or containers instead. Keep it isolated. Never run it with admin or root privileges. Don't store or process private data inside OpenClaw. And keep it updated.

For cloud providers: tighten host security, deploy proper protections, and lock down supply chain and data security. The message is clear: convenience doesn't mean compromising safety.
