As China's DeepSeek AI Gets Hit By Large-Scale 'Cyberattack', Expert Flags Major Data Privacy Concerns
Chinese AI company DeepSeek has announced restrictions on new user registrations following large-scale cyberattacks, reported AFP on Tuesday, marking a significant development as the startup's chatbot surpassed OpenAI's ChatGPT to become the top free app on Apple's US store. DeepSeek Security: Expert Flags Privacy & Risks Cybersecurity expert Adrianus Warmenhoven from NordVPN emphasised the dual nature of AI advancements, highlighting both opportunities and risks. "Users should consider whether their interactions or uploaded data might inadvertently contribute to machine learning processes, potentially leading to data misuse or the development of tools that could be exploited maliciously," he noted. "While AI holds immense potential, we must remain vigilant about the risks associated with its rapid development and deployment, particularly when engaging with companies in jurisdictions where data privacy norms differ significantly from those in the West," he concluded.
