There's only one thing going on in the tech world these past two weeks.<\/p>

Thousands of people line up at the entrance to the Tencent building in Shenzhen to wait for an engineer to help them install a lobster. The A-share \"lobster concept stocks\" collectively rose. The first time I saw this, I saw a friend circle from Ma Huateng in the early hours of the morning, and even the academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering exclaimed at the two sessions: \"Lobster farming is so hot, even Ma Huateng didn't think of it.<\/p>

The open-source AI intelligence called OpenClaw, illustrated as a red lobster, is becoming a \"digital employee\" on everyone's computer at an unprecedented rate.<\/p>

\"\"<\/section>

It can help you organize your files, automatically send emails, grab tickets, write code, and manage your calendar ......7 x 24 hours a day, which sounds wonderful. But while everyone is asking, \"What can Lobster do for me?\", hardly anyone is asking another question:<\/p>

Where are the files and data operated by Lobster? Is it safe?<\/p>

If a lobster wants to work, it has to get the \"highest authority.\"<\/strong><\/p>

The way OpenClaw works, it has to be an \"extremely powerful\" being.<\/p>

-It needs to read your file system in order to organize files.<\/p>

-It needs access to your mailbox in order to return your emails.<\/p>

-It needs to call your browser to help you search and manipulate web pages.<\/p>

-It needs to be connected to your enterprise system to help you with your workflow.<\/p>

In other words, in order for the lobster to \"really work,\" you have to give it the key - and the key to all the rooms. This is technically called \"system-level elevation of privilege\". If something goes wrong, it's not just one document that's lost, it's everything on your computer.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Second, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's warning, said what<\/strong><\/p>

On March 8, the Network Security Threat and Vulnerability Information Sharing Platform of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) formally released a high-risk risk alert, pointing out that OpenClaw has serious security risks under default or improper configuration, and the topic hit the hot search engines on the same day. This is not alarmist talk. According to third-party monitoring data, there have been more than 230,000 cases of OpenClaw public network exposure, of which about 87,800 cases of data leakage, about 43,000 cases of personally identifiable information exposure. China ranks first in the world in terms of the number of exposed cases, with more than 75,000 cases.<\/p>

The statistics of the National Information Security Vulnerability Database are more direct: only from January to March 9 this year, 82 vulnerabilities related to OpenClaw have been collected, of which 12 are ultra-hazardous vulnerabilities and 21 are high-risk vulnerabilities.<\/p><\/section>

\"\"<\/section>

The National Cyber Response Center named four core categories of risk:<\/p>

-Prompt word injection attack<\/p>

-Delete important data by mistake<\/p>

-Functionality plug-ins are embedded with malicious code<\/p>

-Risk of data leakage of core business in key industries such as finance and energy.<\/p>

Note the last one: critical industries such as finance and energy. If your business happens to be in one of these areas, or if you have access to your customers' private information, trade secrets, or contract documents - you're at an order of magnitude higher risk than the average user.<\/p>

Three: \"I already have software encryption\" - why is that not enough?<\/strong><\/p>

Many organizations' IT managers will say, \"We have file encryption and access control, so our data is safe. It sounds reasonable. But in front of the AI Agent's threat model, this logic has a fatal loophole. Software encryption works by storing the key in system memory and pulling it out to decrypt the file when needed. But if OpenClaw is already running inside your operating system and has system-level privileges, accessing the key in memory is no different than accessing it yourself. To put it more bluntly: software encryption protects against \"outsiders\" getting in. But the lobster is already inside. It's like locking a lot of important documents in a safe, but the password to the safe is written on a sticky note outside the safe - anyone who has entered the room can open it.<\/p>

Shrimp Farming - The Underlying Logic of Data Security<\/strong><\/p>

We have come up with a concept: shrimp farming starts with building a pool. Lobster is an advanced productivity tool, we do not oppose to use it. But before handing over the highest authority to the AI Agent, enterprises need to answer a question: if the AI Agent is attacked, hijacked, or misoperation occurs, your core data, is there a line of defense that it can't break through? This line of defense can not be built in the software layer, because the software layer is already within the control of the AI Agent. It must be built at the bottom - the hardware layer. The core principle of hardware encryption is that encryption and decryption operations are performed by independent physical keys, and no matter what happens to the upper software system - attacked, invaded, or misused by the AI - what the attacker gets is just a bunch of undecrypted ciphertext. The data is there, but it can't be read.<\/p><\/section>

V. What We're Doing<\/strong><\/p>

Digital Vault is our hardware encryption cloud storage solution developed for enterprise data security scenarios. The core technology is a PCIE hardware chip equipped with State Secret Algorithm (SM2\/SM3\/SM4) and AES-256 dual-rail encryption, together with an independent USBKey hardware shield, to realize the full hardware-level protection of the key. Your data has been encrypted by the hardware chip before entering the storage. Without the physical shield, no software, no AI agent, no remote attack can unlock this layer of encryption.<\/p>
