/ 1 min read
🔒📉 DeepSeek iOS App Faces Security and Privacy Bans Amid Critical Vulnerabilities. A security assessment by NowSecure has revealed significant vulnerabilities in the DeepSeek iOS app, prompting calls for its prohibition in enterprise and government settings. The app, which has gained millions of downloads, transmits sensitive data unencrypted, employs weak encryption methods, and stores credentials insecurely. Additionally, it collects extensive user data and sends it to servers controlled by ByteDance, raising concerns over compliance with Chinese laws. As a result, various governments, including the U.S. military, have banned the app to protect sensitive information. NowSecure recommends immediate removal of DeepSeek from all devices and suggests exploring alternative AI platforms that prioritize security and data protection.
