DeepSeek’s Cyber Drama: When AI Meets Hackers in a Plot Twist!
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI platform, halted new registrations on its DeepSeek-V3 chat after a “large-scale” cyberattack, possibly a DDoS. As their AI assistant surpasses ChatGPT in downloads, experts caution about privacy and security risks, particularly due to Chinese data-sharing laws.
