The National Law Review reports on security vulnerabilities within DeepSeek AI’s platform, leading to several incidents of impersonation and unauthorized data access. The breaches have exposed sensitive user information, raising significant legal concerns regarding data privacy, cybersecurity compliance, and corporate liability.

The article highlights how attackers exploited weaknesses in DeepSeek’s AI algorithms to impersonate users and gain unauthorized access to personal and corporate data. Legal experts warn that such security lapses not only violate data protection laws like the GDPR and CCPA but also expose companies to potential lawsuits and regulatory penalties.

The incident has reignited debates around AI security standards, particularly the need for stricter compliance measures and transparent AI system audits. Companies using AI technologies are urged to strengthen their security protocols to prevent similar breaches and ensure legal compliance in handling user data.
