Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
A security research study that systematically identifies publicly exposed LLM servers running the Ollama framework using Shodan search engine. The research uncovered over 1,100 exposed Ollama servers, with approximately 20% actively hosting models vulnerable to unauthorized access, highlighting significant security vulnerabilities in LLM deployments due to misconfigurations and inadequate access controls.
