DeepSeek says it is suffering from a huge cyberattack
The attack has prevented new users from registering
A DDoS attack is rumored to be the cause of the outage
DeepSeek has had to temporarily pause new signups to its generative AI chatbot due to “large-scale malicious attacks” against the platform.
The open source model was recently released to the public, causing ripples across the technology industry, sending US markets into freefall.
The relatively new platform has shot to number one on the US app store, replacing ChatGPT as the most popular free app, and has been rumored to have cost as little as $5.6 million to develop.
