Deepseek is making great steps in the AI ​​market, when their R1 model quickly put this application to the number one position on both the App Store and Google Play Store. However, if you have tried to use Deepseek this week, note that your conversation data may have been leaked.

According to The Hacker News, DeepSeek revealed its online database, causing millions of diary records at risk of illegal access. Although the company has released a patch, the data is revealed, including chat history, security encryption lock, backend information and many other important data.

Up to this point, Deepseek said they were continuing to investigate, although security errors were overcome on January 29.

It is not clear whether any party has taken advantage of this gap to access Deepseek’s database. However, security experts confirm that this gap may allow the entire data control and increase access to Deepseek’s network without authentication.

This raises great concerns about privacy and security, especially when millions of users rushed to use Deepseek in a short time.

One of the biggest controversial points about Deepseek is the amount of data collected by this application. Not only recording email addresses, IPs, chat history, this platform also collects more worrying information such as typing and typing rhythm of the user.

Why does a application need to know not only the content you enter, but the way you enter it?

Not stopping there, Deepseek is a Chinese company, which means that all user data is stored on servers in China. According to the law, domestic companies are obliged to provide data to the government when required, this is also one of the reasons why the US banned Tiktok.

Although there is no evidence that Deepseek has shared data with the Chinese government, this security hole shows a risky perspective for this young AI company.

What do users need to do?

If you are using or intending to try Deepseek, consider carefully. Your data may not be strictly protected as you expect. Before using any platform, check their privacy policy and make sure you don’t share sensitive information through these applications.

Deepseek may be popular on apps, but this leak will certainly make many people think about its safety level.
