According to a mobile security firm, the iOS DeepSeek app has security vulnerabilities that endanger personal data. NowSecure, a company called NowSecure, has encountered vulnerabilities that can reach dangerous dimensions in its tests on the iOS DeepSeek application. So why should iPhone users delete the DeepSeek iOS application according to the company?
Does the DeepSeek iOS application pose a threat to iPhone users?
The DeepSeek storm, which emerged at the end of January and shook the whole world, is now causing storms on the personal security side. Recently, DeepSeek servers were attacked and important personal data was leaked. Now, a mobile security firm has evaluated the risks of a similar attack for the DeepSeek iOS application.
Accordingly, the DeepSeek iOS application has protection functions that are not seen in modern high-end applications. If an attack occurs, the application transmits files containing personal data to another location in an unencrypted form. On the storage side, it was also revealed that personal data was encrypted and stored with outdated encryption keys.
New leaks about Google Pixel 9a provide important information on issues such as price, release date and technical features.
DeepSeek also uses device information and data for anonymisation purposes. In short, the types of queries you make with DeepSeek, personal information and device information are kept in DeepSeek. It is also seen as a risk that this information is also stored on the servers of ByteDance, the owner of TikTok. In this sense, the security firm DeepSeek recommended deleting the application for iPhone users.
Although these risks are put forward for DeepSeek iOS, it is obvious that there is no different situation on the Android side. DeepSeek, which has taken an important step in terms of artificial intelligence development and surpassed its competitors with much less expense, has thus fully revealed that DeepSeek has failed in terms of security.
