DeepSeek exposed internal database containing chat histories and sensitive data

Summary

Chinese AI company DeepSeek exposed an unprotected database containing over a million unencrypted chat logs, API keys, and other sensitive data.

Security researchers at Wiz discovered the vulnerability and alerted DeepSeek, which promptly took the database offline.

It's unclear how long the data was exposed or if others accessed it before Wiz.

DeepSeek, which gained viral popularity since its December launch, has not commented.
