Cybersecurity firm Wiz uncovered a major security lapse at Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, finding over a million lines of sensitive data exposed on the open internet through an unsecured ClickHouse database. The exposed information included software keys, user chat logs, API secrets, and backend details, allowing potential attackers full control over database operations and access to internal data. Wiz researchers argue that the rapid growth of companies like DeepSeek shows the critical need for robust security measures to protect user data and maintain trust. (Wiz)
