"DeepSeek exposed internal database containing chat histories and sensitive data", 30 January 2025

Chinese AI company DeepSeek has fixed an exposed back-end database that was spilling sensitive information, including user chat histories and API keys, to the open internet. The DeepSeek database was not protected with a password, allowing anyone on the internet to access more than a million unencrypted logs inside. 

Security researchers at cloud giant Wiz said they found the exposed database and alerted DeepSeek, which soon after took the database offline. ...DeepSeek did not respond to a request for comment.
