Ask HN: If there has been no prompt injection, is it safe?
As I use open claw I am concerned about prompt injection more than bad code. However I think I'm irrationally paranoid. I'm small fries I'm a single individual, someone actively trying to hack me is exploiting a multi-million dollar zero day and they're not doing that on me. If we're thinking about accidentally deleting everything through a terminal command, I've yet to see this actually occur. Deductively I can see all of the worst case scenarios with open claw. Inductively I've never seen it actually happen. I find it a bit irrational to pretend that open claw is a genuine security risk. The moment I see on Hacker News that someone got prompt injected, I think I'll be concerned. Until then I would need almost a lottery like chance to get hacked as the first person through prompt injection. 1 comments on Hacker News.
