Exposed DeepSeek database leaking sensitive information, including chat history

I'm not sure why you think why this discovery has to be some sort of "effort in trying to tarnish DeepSeek". Deepseek is the #1 downloaded app and and the media can't stop talking about it. That means a lot more people are looking into the app and possibly finding vulnerabilities, no conspiracy needed.

Not to mention the same thing happened to OpenAI and basically the same effort went into shaming them: https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/3/24191636/openai-chatgpt-ma...

> instead of following responsible disclosure practices

They literally did, though? They were resolved before publishing.

What are you talking about? They did follow responsible disclosure.

No idea why this is downvoted.

Responsible disclosure normally means you wait up to 90 days so they can fix it, before you disclose it to the public. In this case, it was fixed immediately, so they disclosed it to the public immediately.

Which is another thing it seems Chinese corporations do better than American ones.
