DeepSeek, a lesser-known Chinese company, launched an open-source AI chatbot that rivaled OpenAI's performance and topped the App Store. However, security firm NowSecure found that the app sends user data unencrypted, making it vulnerable to interception and manipulation. The data is routed through servers controlled by ByteDance, leading to potential user tracking. While the chatbot demonstrates remarkable capabilities in reasoning and coding, its inadequate security measures, including a deprecated encryption method, raise alarms about user privacy and data security.
NowSecure reported that the app sends sensitive data over unencrypted channels, making it readable to anyone monitoring traffic.
The DeepSeek AI chatbot amazes with simulated reasoning capabilities comparable to OpenAI's models, despite spending considerably less on development.
