Information security specialist David Konitsny from Peec AI discovered that the Google search engine indexes public links to the dialogues of users of the DeepSeek platform. To access this data, it is enough to enter a specialized search query that opens thousands of previously hidden pages. The analysis of the sample showed that this situation is global: about 31 percent of indexed conversations are in Russian, 20 percent are in English, and the rest are distributed among many other languages. The peak of the activity of creating such links occurred in April 2026, which indicates the systemic scale of this phenomenon.

The messaging functionality in DeepSeek assumes the possibility of generating links to transfer specific fragments of the dialogue to the interlocutor. Although the system warns about the availability of content for any link holder, the notification does not contain information about possible indexing by search robots. As a result, users who expect to share information privately inadvertently make their conversations publicly available. Such conversations often contain confidential information, including snippets of program code, work tasks, personal correspondence, and financial data, which turns temporary links into a permanent digital footprint.

To control access to their dialogs, users are advised to revoke the created links themselves through the profile settings section in the "Data" category. However, experts note that even after deleting the link, a copy of the page may remain in the search engine cache for several months. This situation highlights a fundamental conflict of architectural paradigms: platforms design chats as temporary sessions, whereas web crawlers perceive any available URL as a static document. This raises the question of whether the architecture of services should prevent such scenarios by default, rather than placing responsibility solely on the user's digital hygiene.
