San Francisco, CA | February 10, 2025 –DeepSeek’s iOS app is a privacy disaster, leaking user data and linked to Chinese servers. Security experts demand its immediate removal.
The DeepSeek iOS app, one of the App Store’s top three most-downloaded apps, has been exposed as a severe security nightmare, leaving millions of users at risk. Security researchers from NowSecure have raised the alarm, urging users to delete the app immediately to prevent data leaks, identity theft, and potential espionage.
The shocking revelation uncovers DeepSeek’s blatant security flaws, including plaintext data transmission, outdated encryption, and hardcoded encryption keys—a goldmine for hackers. Even worse, researchers found the app extensively fingerprints users and secretly transmits data to China, raising major privacy and national security concerns.
DeepSeek is a ticking time bomb. Its reckless security practices put millions of users at risk.
Adding fuel to the fire, DeepSeek’s backend is hosted on ByteDance’s Volcano Engine, tying it directly to TikTok’s parent company. With US lawmakers already wary of Chinese surveillance threats, representatives Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Darin LaHood (R-IL) have introduced the No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act.”
This app is a national security risk. No government device should have it installed.
Tech analysts warn that DeepSeek’s poor security makes it a prime target for cybercriminals and state-sponsored hackers, urging all users to uninstall it immediately.
