Trend Micro Warns of Thousands of Exposed AI Servers
Latest research reveals mounting infrastructure-level risks from diverse components HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 13 August 2025 - Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today urged AI engineers and IT leaders to heed best practices in developing and deploying secure systems, or risk exposure to data theft, poisoning, ransom, and other attacks. To learn more about how network defenders and adversaries are using AI, read Trend Micro State of AI Security Report, 1H 2025: Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend: "AI may represent the opportunity of the century for global businesses. But those rushing in too fast without taking adequate security precautions may end up causing more harm than good. As our report reveals, too much AI infrastructure is already being built from unsecured and/or unpatched components, creating an open door for threat actors." Trend's report highlights several AI-related security challenges: 1) Vulnerabilities/exploits in critical components Organizations wishing to develop, deploy and use AI applications must leverage multiple specialized software components and frameworks, which may contain vulnerabilities one may find in regular software. The report reveals zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits in core components including ChromaDB, Redis, NVIDIA Triton, and NVIDIA Container Toolkit. 2) Accidental exposure to the internet Vulnerabilities are often the result of rushed development and deployment timelines, as are instances when AI systems are accidentally exposed to the internet, where they can be probed by adversaries. As detailed in the report, Trend has found 200+ ChromaDB servers, 2,000 Redis servers, and 10,000+ Ollama servers exposed to the internet with no authentication. 3) Vulnerabilities in open-source components Many AI frameworks and platforms use open-source software libraries to provide common functionality. However, open-source components often contain vulnerabilities that end up creeping into production systems, where they are hard to detect. At the recent Pwn2Own Berlin, which featured a new AI category, researchers uncovered an exploit for the Redis vector database, which stemmed from an outdated Lua component. 4) Container-based weaknesses A great deal of AI infrastructure runs on containers, meaning it is exposed to the same security vulnerabilities and threats that impact cloud and container environments. As outlined in the report, Pwn2Own researchers were able to uncover an exploit for the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. Organizations should sanitize inputs and monitor runtime behavior to mitigate such risks. Stuart MacLellan, CTO, NHS SLAM: "There are still lots of questions around AI models and how they could and should be used. We now get much more information now than we ever did about the visibility of devices and what applications are being used. It's interesting to collate that data and get dynamic, risk-based alerts on people and what they're doing depending on policies and processes. That's going to really empower the decisions that are made organizationally around certain products." Both the developer community and its customers must better balance security with time to market in order to mitigate the risks outlined above. Concrete steps could include: Improved patch management and vulnerability scans Maintaining an inventory of all software components, including third-party libraries and subsystems Container management security best practices, including using minimal base images and runtime security tools Configuration checks to ensure AI infrastructure components, like servers aren't exposed to the internet Hashtag: #TrendMicro The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Electric vehicle sales growth eases to 21% in July, research firm says
Global electric vehicle sales grew 21% year-on-year in July, the slowest rate since January and down from 25% in June, as momentum in plug-in hybrid sales in China slackened, market research firm Rho Motion said on Wednesday. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT China is the world's biggest car market and accounts for more than half of global EV sales, which in Rho Motion's data include battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Its overall car sales growth slowed in July, with BYD , the world's largest EV maker, recording its third monthly drop in registrations. The relatively muted slowdown in overall EV sales however shows other markets are taking up some of the slack, with European sales for one benefiting from incentives aimed at speeding up decarbonisation. BY THE NUMBERS Global sales of battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids rose to 1.6 million units in July, Rho Motion data showed. China's EV sales growth, which averaged 36% a month in the first half, eased to 12% in July as the previously booming market was dampened by a pause in some 2025 government subsidy schemes for EV and plug-in hybrid purchases, Rho Motion data manager Charles Lester said. Chinese sales reached around one million vehicles. European sales surged 48% to about 390,000 units, while North American sales climbed 10% to more than 170,000. Sales in the rest of the world jumped 55% to more than 140,000 vehicles. KEY QUOTE "Despite regional variations, the overall trajectory for EV adoption in 2025 remains strongly upward," Lester said. WHAT'S NEXT Chinese car sales are expected to return to strong growth from August as new funds become available for its subsidy schemes, while a cut in U.S. tax credits for buying or leasing new EVs at the end of September will hurt demand there, Lester added.
