Doubt it, there are bots everywhere these days who'll try anything they find. Its part of why having 2FA is important along with hidden accounts with things such as jellyfin.
It's possible to stream from jellyfin without an account. Jellyfin should not be connected to untrusted networks, like the internet. Several API just don't check the key or don't require one in the first place.

Oof, ty for that ill get to remedying it. Really wish the jellyfin project took security a bit more seriously
Iirc Jellyfin isn't exactly intended to be operated outside of your home network like Plex is. There are workarounds of course, but the onus is on the user to secure it.
Do you know if having authelia as middleware for jellyfin solves this issue?
Not the person you asked, but my Jellyfin is only exposed through my reverse proxy (nothing else forwarded), and I simply put Authelia in front of Jellyfin in the reverse proxy using forward_auth (not using OAuth to integrate with Jellyfin!), and that means that you have to be authenticated for any request on my jellyfin subdomain to be able to reach my Jellyfin server at all. Probably means I can't connect via the app remotely, only via browser, but then I can just use my VPN and connect directly to the local IP.
