Running AI locally can keep private information on your own computer instead of sending it to an AI provider. That privacy advantage sounds straightforward until another application exposes your AI to the Internet and allows a malicious website to take control and leave poisoned instructions behind.
Cyera Research achieved exactly that in a proof of concept involving Ollama and third-party AI agent software. There’s a lot to take away from this episode:
✅ How local AI can be compromised
➡️ What AI poisoning is
⚡ The benefit of paying attention to case studies like this
⭐ Practical actions to take when operating local AI
There’s lots to consider here.
Do you run local AI? Do you know how to maintain your system?

Remote contractors can be a valuable part of your business, but how do you minimise the risks inherent with remote or offsite work?
An FBI warning about North Korean IT workers obtaining remote jobs under false identities raises some interesting questions about who has access to your business information and how much control you really have.
There are some practical lessons for small business owners here:

➡️ Are your security measures limiting the damage if someone gains unauthorised access?
⚡ Could your contractors be using tools that put confidential business information at risk?
⭐ What happens to their access when their role changes or they leave?
With the right safeguards in place, you can minimise the risks of remote work while still enjoying the benefits of working with offsite contractors.
