The Department of Homeland Security has made public an order requiring federal civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek AI products from their IT systems and stop buying them, including third-party products and services built using DeepSeek's technology. Issued under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act and signed in July, the order cites risks including data being sent to servers in China and security vulnerabilities in DeepSeek's apps. It covers agencies such as Treasury, State and Justice but excludes the Defense Department and intelligence community, and agencies have 60 days to request exceptions.
