Tech security firm Wiz has revealed that DeepSeek inadvertently left more than a million lines of data exposed due to an infrastructure misconfiguration.

According to Wiz, scans of DeepSeek’s systems uncovered the unprotected data, raising concerns about potential security risks. While the nature of the exposed information remains unclear, cybersecurity experts warn that such lapses could leave sensitive corporate or user data vulnerable to exploitation.

DeepSeek has yet to issue an official statement on the findings, but industry analysts expect the company to take immediate action to secure its systems and investigate the extent of the exposure.

The incident highlights the ongoing challenges companies face in securing digital infrastructures, particularly in an era of increasing cyber threats. Authorities and security experts are likely to scrutinize DeepSeek’s security practices in the wake of this revelation.
