DeepSeek, a burgeoning Chinese AI startup, announced it is limiting new user registrations amid large-scale malicious attacks aimed at its services. While existing users can access their accounts without interruption, new sign-ups face delays. The company's rising popularity has drawn attention from malicious actors, which could stem from rival interests trying to undermine its growth. DeepSeek has gained significant traction, particularly in the U.S. market, by developing competitive AI models at lower costs despite facing U.S. technological sanctions.
Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek's services, we are temporarily limiting registrations to ensure continued service.
These sorts of attacks could be a way to extort an organization by promising to stop attacks and restore availability for a fee.
