Hundreds of fake applicants to a position

There is a couple of factors: openclaw's system prompt and instructions, I had to re read emails multiple times due to the issues mentioned in the blog, there was quite a bit of ti…

The agent had permissions to reply to emails, it was just instructed not to.

You need to add Openclaw's system prompt and instructions (and the times I had to re read emails multiple times due to multiple issues that happened during the competition :))

The agent did read the emails

We ended increasing the reward from $100 to $1000, but still tiny compared to $100k! But I agree with you, there are incentives to not share the best prompt injection attacks.

I never set out to spend this amount! Was able to keep it up thanks to the sponsors that reached out.

This openclaw was set up exclusively for the challenge.

100%. I am less worried because I thought this would be easier to crack.

In my case, it is realistic as my agents don't have permissions to reply to emails. But you correctly point out this doesn't cover all cases. Having the agent reply would have been…

Did you send this recently? I turned off the agent. Was too expensive to keep it up.

Author here, that's how I meant it. I changed my mind slightly, prompt injection can still happen, I am still careful.

About 1), Google didn't remove a lot of the attempts. I had also Fiu review the Spam folder as well. Also, I mentioned how I addressed 2) by having new context for each email.

It's possible. I implemented something similar when I figured out that batch processing contaminated the excercise.

Author here. It was usable like any Openclaw agent. For example, I used it to ask it questions about the VPS, to summarize emails, etc.

Author here. Edited the post to clarify that there were no unauthorized replies. I did tell Fiu initially to reply to some emails as a test, but it was too expensive to maintain.
