Security experts at NowSecure have found problems with DeepSeek, a Chinese iPhone app. The app sends private user details without proper protection, going straight to servers owned by ByteDance, a Chinese business.
The app takes more user information than needed and keeps it in unsafe ways. DeepSeek uses an old safety system called 3DES, which experts say does not work well anymore.
These issues put users at risk. Bad actors might steal important private details. Chinese groups could watch what users do. People might lose control of the facts sent to China.
In other news, expert Alexander Dvoryansky warned about stolen Telegram accounts at a Moscow airport. He said people should be careful with free internet spots that ask for sign-ins.
The simple facts here paint a clear picture: users need to think hard about which apps they trust with their private details. Safe apps keep user information locked up tight, while unsafe apps put that information at risk.
