DeepSeek\'s Growing Influence Sparks a Surge in Frauds and Phishing Attacks (lien direct) |
Overview
DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence company that has developed open-source large language models (LLMs). In January 2025, DeepSeek launched its first free chatbot app, “DeepSeek - AI Assistant”, which rapidly became the most downloaded free app on the iOS App Store in the United States, surpassing even OpenAI\'s ChatGPT.
However, with rapid growth comes new risks-cybercriminals are exploiting DeepSeek\'s reputation through phishing campaigns, fake investment scams, and malware disguised as DeepSeek. This analysis seeks to explore recent incidents where Threat Actors (TAs) have impersonated DeepSeek to target users, highlighting their tactics and how readers can secure themselves accordingly.
Recently, Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL) identified multiple suspicious websites impersonating DeepSeek. Many of these sites were linked to crypto phishing schemes and fraudulent investment scams. We have compiled a list of the identified suspicious sites:
