Summary

Chinese AI company DeepSeek exposed an unprotected database containing over a million unencrypted chat logs, API keys, and other sensitive data.

Security researchers at Wiz discovered the vulnerability and alerted DeepSeek, which promptly took the database offline.

It’s unclear how long the data was exposed or if others accessed it before Wiz.

DeepSeek, which gained viral popularity since its December launch, has not commented.

    It’s only xenophobic if you trust all the other LLMs made in other countries… which I don’t.

    But you jumped on that accusing people of bigotry claim before you bothered to find that out.

      Damn, jumping to accusations sure is crazy, what was your first comment in this reply thread again? Jumping to backdoor accusations.

        What makes you think I meant that the others don’t have them?

        Do I really have to mention every other country with LLMs when I bring up DeepSeek?

      To be fair you can run it locally in a virtual machine that is airgapped if you did want to run it

      But I’m with you. Im gonna wait a bit longer before trying this one on my personal machines

        Yeah, airgapped is definitely different.
