The first rupture appeared on January 29 when cloud security firm Wiz stumbled upon an exposed ClickHouse database tagged “ds‑log‑prod‑001". Anyone with a browser could have accessed more than a million log lines: raw chat history, API keys, and even internal service tokens. Wiz engineers demonstrated that with two clicks they could seize “full database control", inject malicious code and pivot into the rest of DeepSeek’s infrastructure.

A week later mobile forensics specialists at NowSecure published a parallel autopsy of the iOS build. Their findings read like a checklist of everything Apple’s security team tells developers not to do: hard‑coded encryption keys, deprecated 3DES ciphers and App Transport Security switched off globally, allowing chats to travel unencrypted. The company urged enterprises to ban the app outright. However, DeepSeek’s parentage turned out to be even more troubling.

Corporate registries in Zhejiang and the Cayman Islands show the chatbot is a wholly owned offshoot of High‑Flyer Quant, a hedge fund founded in 2016 by the 38‑year‑old trader and CEO of Deepseek, Liang Wenfeng. Reuters reporting confirms that High‑Flyer pivoted from equity markets to artificial intelligence research in 2023, building two super‑computing clusters stuffed with Nvidia A100 processors before US export controls came into force.

[...]

Sources say the Computer Emergency Response Team of India (CERT‑In) is preparing a broader advisory under the new Digital Personal Data Protection Act that could push local app stores to delist the software if it fails a security audit. Other democracies have gone further: Italy, Australia and Taiwan have banned DeepSeek from public‑sector systems, with Taipei warning of “systemic espionage risk".

[...]

High‑Flyer Quant’s pitch decks boast of “harvesting alternative data at planetary scale". If every trade idea whispered into DeepSeek ends up in a Hangzhou warehouse, the company enjoys a real‑time map of market sentiment unavailable to Wall Street — and unpoliced by the Securities and Exchange Commission. For American fund managers and Indian startups alike, using the chatbot could be tantamount to CC‑ing a rival on every brainstorming session.

We’re now 516 members! A warm welcome to all of you :)

The idea with this Weekly Thread is to encourage people to participate more by sharing a theme. See that as an invitation, nothing more and you’re more than welcome to comment about anything else related to journaling, or to start your own thread while ignoring this one.

This week theme: Where do you journal?

Do you like to write your journal at home, comfortably installed on your desk or maybe on a couch or in the bed? Or do you journal everywhere you go? And how? Do you do it on your phone, or in your journal (that you carry everywhere you go?) or maybe in smaller notebook?

Just wanted to pop in and say a big hello to our brand new IndiaSocial community here on Lemmy! We're so excited to have you all join us.

What's the vibe here, you ask? Think of this as your chill corner of the Fediverse. Feel free to share those funny memes that made you chuckle, those light-hearted pics that brightened your day, or just chat about whatever casual topics are on your mind.

Whether it's a relatable observation about everyday Indian life, a cute animal picture, or just a simple "how's your day going?", this is the place for it. Let's keep things friendly, positive, and a little bit fun.

Looking forward to seeing your posts and getting to know you all! Let the good times roll! 😄🇮🇳

Mon the strikers! A decade of below inflation rises should have been corrected long before

On Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will send to Congress reforms to the telecommunications law to prohibit the dissemination of propaganda paid for by foreign governments or organizations in Mexican media.

“The issue is that they are paying for ads with a discriminatory message,” she said, referring to a commercial against illegal immigration sponsored by U.S. National Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Sheinbaum considered that Noem’s commercial, which has been airing on television for months and was broadcast during the weekend’s soccer matches, is discriminatory.

“A message from President Donald Trump to the world: If you’re considering entering America illegally, don’t even think about it. Let me be clear: If you come to our country and break our laws, we will prosecute you. Criminals are not welcome in the U.S.,” the National Security Secretary said.

In response, the Mexican president will seek to revive a section of the Federal Telecommunications Law that was repealed in 2014, during the presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto (2012–2018).

With this, foreign governments will not be allowed to pay either traditional media or social networks to broadcast “propaganda” in Mexico.

“Broadcast and television licensees and permit holders in the country will not be allowed to transmit political, ideological, or commercial propaganda from foreign governments or entities, nor permit the media operating under their licenses to be used for purposes that could influence internal affairs,” it was stated.

Vladimir Lenin (1870 - 1924)

Fri Apr 22, 1870

Image: **

Vladimir Lenin, born on this day in 1870, was a revolutionary Marxist theorist who played a leading role in the October Revolution.

Born into a prosperous family, Lenin was radicalized at least in part after his older brother Alexander was executed in 1887 for conspiring to assassinate Alexander III. He was subsequently expelled from Kazan Imperial University for participating in protests against the Russian Empire's Tsarist government and later arrested for sedition, exiled to Siberia in 1897.

Over the next two decades, Lenin remained committed to revolutionary activity, authoring influential texts such as "What is to Be Done?" (1901-2), "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back" (1904), "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism" (1916), and "The State and Revolution" (1917). During this time period, Lenin and his wife, fellow revolutionary Nadezhda Krupskaya, moved frequently, living both in Russia and abroad.

After the February Revolution of 1917 ousted the Tsar and established a Provisional Government, Lenin returned to Russia from Switzerland and played a leading role in the October Revolution, in which the Bolsheviks overthrew the new State Duma government.

A civil war of significant political complexity subsequently broke out, in which the Bolsheviks defeated conservative, social democratic, and anarchist forces to consolidate its own power. Lenin served as Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Russian SFSR from 1917 to 1924. In 1918, he survived two separate assassination attempts.

Lenin's ideas are foundational to the political tradition of Marxism-Leninism, a political tradition which emphasizes the creation of a dictatorship of the proletariat by means of a revolutionary vanguard party and democratic centralism, in which political decisions reached through free discussion are binding upon all members of the political party.

"Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners."

- Vladimir Lenin

This is pretty much a. Follow up to my post yesterday and was wondering which search engine to use, I’m leaning stlightly towards mullvad as it is a more reputable and they get their results exclusively from braves index but 4get is open source and has an official instance.

I've been sitting on this for a while waiting until it was topical but I'm kind of running out of time now that it's Gawr Gurover so it's time to just hit send

I once met John Waters at a videostore in California in 2002. My coworker was a huge fangirl and he treated us like we were some celebrity talk show hosts. John if you lurk here and happened to find our weird little corner of the internet I love you man.
