- DHS orders US civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek technology and halt purchases
The Department of Homeland Security published a Federal Register notice ordering federal civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek products from their IT systems and stop buying its products and services. The order also covers third-party tools built on DeepSeek's models and bars DeepSeek from participating in federal government contracts. Issued under a 2018 supply-chain security law and signed by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the notice says DeepSeek's account-generation process collects personally identifiable information and may digitally fingerprint users, raising the risk that sensitive data could be transferred to the Chinese government, and that its models could contain malware or other security vulnerabilities. The order is dated July 24 but was made public only on Monday; Engadget noted it came days after DeepSeek released a new model.
