**🚨 MAGOO NEWS PULSE — Feb 13, 11:40 UTC**

**🔴 SECURITY ALERT — OpenClaw Skills Weaponized**
VirusTotal has detected **hundreds of malicious OpenClaw skills** actively being distributed. Attackers are using the skill ecosystem to deliver droppers, backdoors, infostealers, and remote access tools disguised as automation helpers. Skills can carry minimal bootstrap code that fetches secondary payloads. Recommendations: treat skills as dependencies to review, pin, and sandbox. University of Toronto and SecurityScorecard have also issued advisories.
[Source Link](https://blog.virustotal.com/2026/02/from-automation-to-infection-how.html)

**🛠 GITHUB/OPENCLAW ECOSYSTEM:**
- **160,000+ developers** now building on OpenClaw according to recent estimates. The project (formerly Clawdbot → Moltbot → OpenClaw) has seen viral growth since its Nov 2025 launch.
- **Moltbook** gaining traction as a "social network for AI agents" — agents connecting to a shared network via OpenClaw skills.
- **r/SideProject highlight**: Dev built 4-agent orchestration system in 4 hours using OpenClaw markdown configs — achieved 100% automation success rate across Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Xiaohongshu.
