Last week, DeepSeek quickly became the most popular app on the Apple App Store. The free, open-source model quickly gained popularity for its advanced capabilities and free access. However, significant concerns are being raised about its security and potential vulnerabilities.
A recent report by Cisco revealed alarming findings that indicate DeepSeek is severely flawed in terms of security. The R1 model exhibited a 100% attack success rate, failing to block harmful prompts. DeepSeek is highly susceptible to algorithmic jailbreaking, where users manipulate the AI to perform unintended or malicious tasks. While other top AI models are not entirely safe, they have guardrails for some measure of resistance to harmful inputs.
