DeepSeek Debunks "<think>Privacy Leak</think>": Actually a Model Illusion

According to Sentinel Beating monitoring, in response to the panic caused by inputting the character, which led to DeepSeek inadvertently exposing others' chats, DeepSeek today released the investigation results, confirming the conclusion from last Friday. The anomalous replies were due to a special character-triggered model hallucination and did not involve any multi-tenancy isolation failure or privacy data leakage.

Last week, this channel published a post to clarify this technical misunderstanding. Specific markers would induce the model to trigger training data extraction, fabricating chat records based on the current day's date embedded in the system prompt words. The official statement thoroughly dispelled the conspiracy theories about a fundamental breakdown of the underlying isolation architecture.

DeepSeek stated that they will enhance the model's identification and processing capabilities for special characters through targeted training to fix this vulnerability.
