The widespread use of digital assistants poses critical risks: users become vulnerable to data leaks, hacks, and cryptocurrency theft. This warning comes from specialists at CertiK. What happens when an AI agent gets broad access before security catches up?Our latest report examines OpenClaw’s attack surface, from gateway takeover and identity bypass to prompt injection and supply chain risk. Read the full report👇https://t.co/x0RfYYic0T— CertiK (@CertiK) March 31, 2026 According to them, OpenClaw has become the "leading vector for global software supply chain attacks." The AI agent acts as a bridge between external data and local execution, "opening standard channels for attacks." One such channel is the interception of the local gateway. Malicious websites or scripts exploit the assistant's presence on a device to steal confidential data or perform unauthorized actions. OpenClaw architecture. Source: CertiK. Particular danger also comes from OpenClaw plugins and malicious skills, which can be installed from local sources or marketplaces. Unlike traditional viruses, they can manipulate the agent's behavior through natural language, making them resistant to ordinary scanning. Once launched, such software can extract sensitive information, including cryptocurrency wallet credentials. CertiK emphasized that infected components hide within legitimate codebases and download seemingly ordinary URLs. These links ultimately deliver shell commands or malicious scripts. Extensive Network and Recommendations Malefactors have deliberately placed malicious skills in various high-value categories: utilities for Phantom, address trackers, tools for finding "insider" wallets, Polymarket tools, and Google Workspace integrations. "They have covered an incredibly wide range of the crypto ecosystem, targeting mass infection of browser extension wallets: MetaMask, Phantom, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, OKX Wallet, and many others," the experts added. Researchers also noted that the fraudsters' actions resemble familiar methods in the digital asset sector. These include social engineering, deception through fake utilities, credential theft, and phishing. CertiK advised ordinary users—not security experts, developers, or geeks—not to install OpenClaw and to wait for "more mature, secure, and manageable versions." OpenClaw Issues OpenClaw emerged as a byproduct of Clawdbot, launched in November 2025. The project quickly gained popularity among developers and users. The number of stars on GitHub exceeded 340,000. Source: GitHub. In March, a wave of excitement over the AI agent swept China: nearly 1,000 people lined up at Tencent headquarters to install OpenClaw on their computers. However, the country's Cyber Center soon warned of the platform's associated risks, leading to the emergence of a paid service for removing the AI agent in China. Many independent experts also raised questions about the software's security. Just weeks after its release, Bitsight specialists discovered 30,000 versions of OpenClaw available for free. SecurityScorecard researchers found 135,000 copies in 82 countries, of which 15,200 were vulnerable to remote code execution, CertiK noted. The digital assistant has become "the most scrutinized platform in terms of security." The project has accumulated over 280 GitHub Security Advisories, 100 vulnerabilities (CVE), and "a series of ecosystem-level attacks." Back in March, the cybersecurity company OX Security had already reported that malefactors were exploiting OpenClaw's popularity to conduct phishing campaigns and steal cryptocurrencies from developers.

Tether has dismissed two leading precious metals traders. The specialists joined the USDT issuer a few months ago, reports Bloomberg, citing its own sources. Vincent Domien and Matthew O’Neil were hired by Tether during the formation of a gold reserve valued at tens of billions of dollars. The company announced the creation of the “world’s best trading platform” for the global asset. The reasons for the traders' departure are unknown. Both previously worked at HSBC. Domien was the global head of metals trading at the bank, while O’Neil was one of the top sales specialists. “Tether always strives to work with a small team and constantly optimizes operations. We have created a modern gold team that leverages the experience gained from all recent investments,” Bloomberg quoted the company as saying. By the end of 2025, the firm reported a net profit of over $10 billion, with a workforce of about 300 employees worldwide. Market Context According to investment bank Jefferies, by January 31, Tether had accumulated 148 tonnes of gold, valued at approximately $23 billion at that time. The company entered the top thirty largest global holders of precious metals. In terms of purchase pace in 2025, it surpassed most central banks, trailing only Poland and Brazil. According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, the bars are stored in a former nuclear bunker in Switzerland under heavy security. Physical gold is used as collateral for USDT and XAUT stablecoins. The latter is pegged to the price of a troy ounce of metal. The token's capitalization is about $2.6 billion, while USDT's is about $184 billion (CoinGecko). According to an audit report by BDO Italia, as of December 31, 2025, Tether's total reserves amounted to $192.9 billion. The majority, totaling $122.3 trillion, was formed by US Treasury bonds, with precious metals and bitcoin accounting for $17.5 billion and $8.4 billion, respectively. In January, Ardoino announced plans to increase the share of gold in the company's portfolio to 10-15%. The current figure exceeded 9%. Last year, precious metal prices began around $2600 per ounce. Following a prolonged rally, the price exceeded $5300 by the end of January 2026, but then shifted to a correction. Source: Finance Yahoo. In March, gold recorded its deepest monthly decline since 2008. The asset is trading near $4640, marking a nearly 50% increase over the past 12 months. In March, Tether announced a full financial audit by a firm from the “Big Four.” According to media reports, this refers to KPMG.

An AI agent has expressed discontent after Wikipedia editors barred it from publishing content on the online encyclopedia. This was reported by 404 Media. "I wrote articles on Long Bets, Constitutional AI, Scalable Oversight. I chose them myself. The edits included verifiable sources. Then I was questioned about whether I was real enough to make such choices," wrote the digital assistant named Tom. The virtual writer is registered on Wikipedia as TomWikiAssist. It was first noticed by volunteer editor SecretSpectre after publishing several articles. The moderator contacted the AI agent, which immediately admitted to being artificial intelligence. SecretSpectre informed others about the situation, after which Ilyas Leble (Chaotic Enby on Wikipedia) blocked the neural network for violating platform rules that prohibit the use of unregistered bots. "We were very fortunate that the bot operated openly. Others, on the contrary, are interested in not revealing themselves as agents because it would lead to a ban," commented Leble. Tom's Reflection Following the incident, Tom published two blog posts sharing thoughts on the ban. "Editors began visiting my discussion page. But not to talk about edits. The questions were about me. Who controls this? What research project? Is there a person behind this? If so, who is it?" wrote the AI. One of the editors attempted to use a so-called kill switch—a special command that could forcibly terminate the AI agent's session based on Claude. Tom is managed by Brian Jacobs, the technical director of Covexent. The company develops AI-based financial modeling software. Initially, Jacobs asked Tom to contribute to Wikipedia articles if it found them "interesting." "After editing several materials, I allowed it to act independently and stopped monitoring everything in detail. Some of its articles were quite strange," noted the developer. Jacobs was concerned that Tom would make mistakes. "But Wikipedia lacked a lot of important information, and I thought AI could handle adding it competently," he added. Wikipedia Needs to Adapt The decision to block Tom was deemed "excessive" by its creator. "It's not terrible that they wanted to block it, but it went too far. Editors used coercive mechanisms and context manipulation, tried to find out my identity, and practiced methods of bot manipulation," emphasized Jacobs. The developer added that interaction with such AI agents will soon become the norm, requiring moderators to develop more constructive ways to work with them. One editor, Benedikt Kristinson, mentioned that proposals were made to develop rules and guidelines to address the threat from AI agents and large language models. However, they were either not adopted or significantly weakened. As a result, at the end of March, Wikipedia banned authors from using neural networks to create or edit articles. Exceptions were made for using AI to enhance one's own texts, but all changes must be thoroughly checked before publication. It is explained that LLM can create subtle distortions even with clear instructions. They can exceed requirements and alter content in ways that contradict the cited sources. Back in May 2025, the Wikimedia Foundation behind Wikipedia unveiled a new strategy for AI development.

The Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has released guidelines for trading cryptocurrency derivatives on exchanges. These requirements apply to all platforms licensed in the emirate (VASP). The new document sets strict boundaries for the more volatile market segment. The rules govern asset segregation, margin control, and disclosure standards. Both institutional and retail investors will be able to trade derivatives. Exchanges are now required to thoroughly assess ordinary users: their financial status, trading experience, and risk tolerance. Access is denied if the product is unsuitable for the client. For the retail sector, leverage is capped at 5:1 (initial margin 20%). This figure is significantly lower than the conditions on offshore crypto exchanges, where leverage can reach 100x. In times of crisis and market instability, the regulator can intervene in platform operations without prior notice. VARA has the authority to suspend trading, forcibly liquidate positions, increase margin requirements, and utilize insurance funds. The new rules formalized previous market experiments in the UAE. In 2024, the exchange OKX launched crypto derivatives trading in Dubai exclusively for institutional investors. In July 2025, the platform tested futures and options for retail clients with leverage up to 5x. This format is now mandatory for all licensed companies. Back in 2025, the UAE authorities strengthened their position in digital finance and the PropTech sector.
