DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence company behind a viral app topping US download charts, has restricted new user registrations to mainland China mobile phone numbers, citing large-scale malicious attacks on its services. The company announced that its service has been degraded due to these attacks and that the registration limitation is a temporary measure to ensure continued service. Existing users can log in as usual. DeepSeek did not specify the nature of the attacks or when normal registration services might resume.
