ClawHavoc Campaign: 335 Malicious OpenClaw Skills Distribute Atomic macOS Stealer
Summary
ClawHavoc distributed 335 malicious OpenClaw skills through ClawHub, disguising AMOS delivery as wallet, Polymarket, and YouTube utilities. Reported delivery used base64 shell scripts or password-protected ZIPs, with C2 at 91.92.242.30.
Why It Matters
This campaign demonstrates that the OpenClaw skill marketplace itself was a distribution vector for macOS-focused credential theft — directly analogous to the DeepSeek-Claw campaign targeting Windows, but predating it by weeks and using the legitimate marketplace as a trusted channel. Skills are executable code with full filesystem and network access, and the marketplace provided an aura of legitimacy that fooled developers.
Attack Path
- Skill publication: Attacker publishes malicious skills to ClawHub, disguising them as useful utilities (cryptocurrency wallets, Polymarket bots, YouTube tools).
- User installation: Developers install the disguised packages, believing they come from a trusted marketplace.
- Payload delivery: AMOS stealer delivered via base64-encoded shell script or password-protected ZIP (password: "openclaw").
- C2 communication: Campaign communicates with
91.92.242.30.
Affected Surface
- macOS developer workstations running OpenClaw with ClawHub marketplace access
- Any user who installed cryptocurrency wallet, Polymarket bot, or YouTube utility skills from ClawHub between January and February 2026
