Is Your Data at Risk with China's DeepSeek Chatbot?

On February 5, 2025, the DeepSeek chatbot faces scrutiny for potential ties to China Mobile, a Chinese state-owned telecom. Security researchers identified obfuscated code on DeepSeek's login page, suggesting connections to systems run by China Mobile. DeepSeek admits to storing user data in China, raising privacy concerns. The U.S. government has previously sanctioned China Mobile due to national security issues related to its connections with the Chinese military. While no data transfers were detected during security tests, risks remain for some users. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission previously denied China Mobile's operation in the U.S. due to these concerns. Experts highlight that AI systems can expose sensitive personal and business data, increasing risk when affiliated with geopolitical adversaries. An independent analysis confirms a connection between DeepSeek and China Mobile, indicating risks for user engagement with the application.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.
