China-linked hackers reportedly use DeepSeek to automate and scale cyberattacks
- Taiwanese cybersecurity firm TeamT5 says some China-linked hacking groups are using AI tools such as DeepSeek to launch cyberattacks faster and on a larger scale.
- Researchers say the AI is being used for tasks such as finding targets, scanning internet systems, writing exploit code and collecting technical information before an cyberattack.
- TeamT5 says DeepSeek is attractive because it is cheap and has fewer restrictions on some cyber-related requests, though DeepSeek has not publicly responded to the report.
