DeepSeek’s AI Breakthrough Overshadowed by Security Blunder: A Comedy of Errors in Cybersecurity
DeepSeek’s cutting-edge AI models may rival OpenAI, but their security measures are more like Swiss cheese—full of holes. Wiz uncovered a publicly accessible database, leaving sensitive data exposed to the internet without a password. DeepSeek quickly patched things up, but it’s a stark reminder that cool AI tech needs some serious security TLC.
Hot Take:
DeepSeek might have cracked the code on affordable AI models, but when it comes to cybersecurity, they’ve left their ClickHouse wide open. It’s like building a state-of-the-art mansion and forgetting to install doors. Maybe they should rebrand to DeepLeak?
Key Points:
- DeepSeek’s database was highly exposed, with no password protection.
- Wiz security firm found sensitive data, including chat histories and API secrets.
- The ClickHouse database allowed for unauthorized SQL queries.
- Despite the security mishap, DeepSeek quickly addressed the issue.
- DeepSeek is embroiled in controversy with OpenAI over potential misuse of GPT models.
