DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence company and rival to ChatGPT, has temporarily limited new user registrations to mainland China mobile phone numbers due to large-scale malicious cyber attacks on its services. The company reported that its services have been degraded by the attacks, causing service interruptions and degraded API performance, but existing users can continue to log in as usual. DeepSeek's move comes amid a surge in popularity, with the app topping US download charts and attracting attention from Wall Street and Silicon Valley. The company stated that it is taking measures to ensure continued service by temporarily limiting registrations and addressing the service interruptions caused by the attacks.
