Ollama API Exposure: A Comedy of Errors or a Cybersecurity Nightmare?
Exposed Ollama APIs are causing tech turmoil, leaving AI models like DeepSeek vulnerable to security breaches. While this might be a dream for hackers, it’s a nightmare for model owners. As Ollama spreads faster than gossip at a family reunion, users should audit their attack surface to prevent AI data leakage.
Hot Take:
Ollama APIs might be the new ‘open mic night’ for hackers, where no one asked for their performance but boy, do they show up! If your AI model is on this platform, it’s probably time to pull a Houdini and make it disappear before it gets ‘voluntarily’ added to a botnet lineup.
Key Points:
- Ollama APIs are exposed, allowing unauthorized access to AI models.
- Security risks include potential data breaches and exploitation by botnets.
- 7,000 IP addresses currently expose Ollama APIs, a 70% jump in three months.
- DeepSeek models are the most popular, especially in China, the US, and Germany.
- Entities like the US Navy and NASA have restricted DeepSeek over data leakage concerns.
