DeepSeek iOS App Riddled with Privacy Issues and Security Vulnerabilities

The iOS application DeepSeek, which allows users to identify people by uploading their pictures, is under scrutiny due to multiple security flaws and privacy concerns.

DeepSeek is an application that uses artificial intelligence algorithms to identify individuals from uploaded photos. However, a security researcher has recently discovered several vulnerabilities that could potentially expose user data. The researcher was able to access over 100,000 photographs through a security flaw in the app's system.

Along with these security issues, DeepSeek is also facing backlash regarding privacy concerns. The app's terms and conditions indicate that all uploaded photos become the property of the company, raising questions about user privacy and data protection.

Despite the app's removal from the App Store in response to these issues, DeepSeek's developers have issued a statement defending their product. They have claimed that the issues were addressed before the app was taken down, and have promised to further enhance the security and privacy measures of the app.

However, the security researcher who discovered the flaws remains skeptical. He believes that the app's basic design poses significant security risks, and that these issues are not easily fixed. The future of DeepSeek remains uncertain, as it continues to grapple with these serious security and privacy concerns.
