DeepSeek has secured a “completely open” database that exposed user chat histories, API authentication keys, system logs, and other sensitive information, according to cloud security firm Wiz. The security researchers said they found the Chinese AI startup’s publicly accessible database in “minutes,” with no authentication required.

Research Firm Wiz Research began investigating DeepSeek soon after its generative AI took the tech world by storm.

OpenAI has raised alarms about its Chinese competitor, DeepSeek, suggesting that the company may have "inappropriately" used its data to develop its own artificial intelligence chatbot. The claim comes after DeepSeek released a highly effective and low-cost Large Language Model (LLM) on Monday,

Oh someone's in DeepShi... China-based AI biz DeepSeek may have developed competitive, cost-efficient generative models, but its cybersecurity chops are another story.… Wiz, a New York-based infosec house,
