Researchers claim they had a ‘100% attack success rate’ on jailbreak attempts against Chinese AI DeepSeek

“DeepSeek R1 was purportedly trained with a fraction of the budgets that other frontier model providers spend on developing their models. However, it comes at a different cost: safety and security,” researchers say.

A research team at Cisco managed to jailbreak DeepSeek R1 with a 100% attack success rate. This means that there was not a single prompt from the HarmBench set that did not obtain an affirmative answer from DeepSeek R1. This is in contrast to other frontier models, such as o1, which blocks a majority of adversarial attacks with its model guardrails.

In other related news, experts are cited by CNBC that DeepSeek’s privacy policy “isn’t worth the paper it is written on."
