Scanning for Exposed Anthropic Models – Because Apparently Locking Sh*t Down Is Optional

So, guess what the security clowns on the internet are up to now? Yeah, more boneheaded misconfigurations that make you wonder how humanity hasn’t collectively tripped over its own ethernet cables. This time, it’s all about exposed Anthropic Claude AI models sitting wide open on the damn internet like a neon “PWN ME” sign.

The ISC crew did some scanning and found that some genius developers apparently thought, “Nah, security’s for other people,” and left their Anthropic endpoints just hanging out in the open, waiting for some script kiddie or malicious numpty to poke them. These endpoints basically let anyone with half a brain prompt the model and potentially pull data, screw with configs, or find new ways to burn processing power faster than a crypto miner on payday.

So, the TL;DR? Don’t be a f**king moron. Lock your API keys, control your access, and maybe, just maybe, don’t deploy your shiny bleeding-edge AI service straight onto the public net without thinking, “Hmm, what if some a**hole finds this?” Because spoiler: someone already did. The internet is basically an all-you-can-eat buffet for exploits, and your unsecured endpoints are the main course.

For the love of all that’s unholy, follow some security hygiene. Restrict access, keep your damn keys private, and stop assuming “nobody will find it.” They will. They always do. And when they do, you’ll be crying while the rest of us laugh and say, “Well, isn’t that a f**king surprise.”

Reminds me of the time some dipshit junior tech left a database full of user creds on an open port because “nobody uses that old system anymore.” Yeah, tell that to the ransomware crew who did. Some people learn the hard way. The rest of us drink coffee and watch the dumpster fire burn.
