According to the Korea Times, on Friday, the Hyundai Motor Group notified employees and managers about the prohibition of using Depseek R1 due to the threat of confidential data escape.
It is forbidden to connect with the Chinese platform with the group’s key units employees, such as Hyundai Motor, Kia, Hyundai Mobis and Hyundai Glovis.
According to newspaper sources, employees of other local IT giants, such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and SK Hynix, are also forbidden to use the Chinese neural network on work devices.
The list of South Korean organizations that have prohibited access to Deepseek include the country’s main banking groups: KB, Shinhan, Hana and Woori.
“This step is part of our proactive measures against possible data leaks to China,” said a representative of the Ti Industry of South Korea to the publication. Companies plan to adhere to this policy until the fears of Depseek’s security are completely dissipated.
Previously, several South Korean ministries have banned their employees to use Chinese chatbot for security-as-second, trade and defense considerations.
The neuronal network management warned users about the spread of disinformation about Deepseek. The company made a statement in the context of restrictions adopted in Australia, Italy, United States, South Korea and Taiwan.
