Taiwan bans DeepSeek from government employees

More and more countries are studying the potential cyber threats of DeepSeek, as the collected data could end up in the hands of the Chinese government.

Taiwan's government agencies and critical infrastructure operators will not be able to use the technology of Chinese startup DeepSeek due to data leakage risks. This is reported by Bloomberg.

DeepSeek's performance has attracted international attention because the model was developed at a lower cost than its competitors.

At the same time, more and more countries are studying the potential cyber threats of DeepSeek, as the collected data could end up in the hands of the Chinese government.

Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Technology has stated that no official or confidential information should be used to query DeepSeek.

"This is a product that threatens national information security," the ministry said in a statement.
