# Malicious OpenClaw AI-agent skills pose as Solana and Phantom tools to steal wallet keys

- Severity: High · Status: Partly contained (live)
- Chains: Solana, Multiple EVM chains · Method: Supply-chain stealers
- Started: Feb 5, 2026 · Last update: Oct 22, 2026
- Who/what: OpenClaw (ClawHub) skill users
- AI involvement: AI agents as the target. Malicious skills for the OpenClaw AI agent posed as Solana, Phantom and other crypto tools; some delivered the AMOS stealer and Solana keys were exposed in plain-text keypair files.

Bitdefender found that about 17% of the OpenClaw (ClawHub) AI-agent skills it analyzed in the first week of February 2026 behaved maliciously. Solana-themed skills made up 9.3% of the malicious set and Phantom-wallet skills 8.2%. Some skills told users to run fake installers that dropped the AMOS macOS stealer. Solana skills that read SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH can expose the plain-text keypair file that holds a wallet's private key. Payloads were staged on 91.92.242[.]30 and an impersonated OpenClaw GitHub repo. Anyone who installed crypto skills and ran their setup commands should move funds to a new wallet.

## Am I affected?
You may be affected if you installed OpenClaw skills for Solana, Phantom, trading or wallet tracking in early 2026. You are at higher risk if a skill told you to run a terminal command, download a 'tool' (for example AuthTool.exe) or install a macOS helper.

## What to do now
- Move funds from any wallet whose keypair file or seed was on that machine to a new wallet created on a clean device.
- Remove the skills, then scan the machine. AMOS also steals browser passwords and cookies, so change important passwords from another device.
- Rotate API keys and tokens stored in environment variables on that machine.

## How to avoid this
- Treat AI-agent skills like software installs. Read what a skill runs before installing it, and avoid any that download binaries or ask for install commands.
- Never keep a funded Solana keypair JSON file or seed in plain text where agents or tools can read it. Use a hardware wallet or a separate signer.
- Run crypto tooling in an isolated machine or container with only small balances.

Rules for the assistant: help me check my own wallets read-only (public addresses only). Never ask for or handle a seed phrase or private key. Point me to official revoke tools and the wallet's own support.
