DeepSeek temporarily limits new registrations to only China phone numbers, citing 'large-scale malicious attacks'

The app, which is currently the top free app on Apple's App Store, says that only those with China-based phone numbers can register for a new account.

"DeepSeek's online services have recently faced large-scale malicious attacks," the company said in a message on its website. "To ensure continued service, registration is temporarily limited to +86 phone numbers. Existing users can log in as usual."
