🔍 DeepSeek app poses significant security risks, prompting regulatory action. Researchers from NowSecure have identified serious vulnerabilities in the iOS version of DeepSeek, the third most popular app on the App Store, including plaintext data transmission, outdated encryption methods, and hardcoded keys. The app also sends user data to China, raising privacy and national security concerns, which have led U.S. lawmakers to propose the No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act. Meanwhile, Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported a data breach affecting ten employees due to a nation-state attack, and Spanish police arrested a hacker linked to breaches of NATO and U.S. Army systems. Additionally, various critical vulnerabilities in software like Microsoft Outlook and Apache OFBiz are currently under active exploitation.
