DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has faced a large-scale cyberattack over a period of 83 hours, from January 25 to January 29, 2025. The attack involved over 230 million distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) requests per second, with the total attack volume equating to the total internet traffic of Europe for three days.
