A security researcher revealed that 360’s AI assistant, OpenClaw, leaked an SSL private key, contradicting founder Zhou Hongyi’s pledge. The key, valid until 2027, pertains to the domain *.myclaw.360.cn and could enable server impersonation or traffic interception. 360 serves 461 million users and has a $10 billion valuation. The issue drew attention in liquidity and crypto markets, raising concerns over CFT measures. Developers in China confirmed the findings.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that security researcher Lukasz Olejnik posted on X that 360’s AI assistant, “360 Security Crab” (OpenClaw), leaked an SSL private key in its installer.
