DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, recently faced a significant cyber attack that disrupted its services. The attack, identified as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, overwhelmed DeepSeek's servers with illegitimate traffic, causing degraded performance and temporarily halting new user registrations2. Despite the attack, existing users were able to log in without issues. DeepSeek has since implemented a fix and is monitoring the situation1. The incident highlights the importance of robust security measures, especially for rapidly growing platforms1.
