DeepSeek Targets of Malicious Cyber Attacks

In a recent turn of events, DeepSeek, a leading Chinese artificial intelligence firm, has announced that it has become the target of 'malicious attacks.' This revelation comes on the heels of the company's app achieving the top spot on Apple Inc.'s App Store, marking a significant milestone for the AI industry in China.

In response to these cyber threats, DeepSeek has implemented temporary measures to safeguard its services. The company has limited new registrations, a move aimed at ensuring uninterrupted service for its existing user base. 'Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek's services, we are temporarily limiting registrations to ensure continued service. Existing users can log in as usual. Thanks for your understanding and support,' stated DeepSeek in an official notice.

Furthermore, DeepSeek clarified that, for the time being, only individuals with a Chinese phone number would be able to register for its services. This decision underscores the challenges faced by tech companies in maintaining cybersecurity while striving to expand their user base.
