New ChatGPT Mac feature could leave a simple record of what you do open to hackers
A new ChatGPT feature for Mac called Computer History may save a readable record of what you do on your computer. If someone gets access to your Mac, that record could expose sensitive personal, work, or financial information more easily.
Who is at risk
Mac users who use the ChatGPT desktop app, especially anyone handling private messages, passwords, financial details, or work documents, are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for the ChatGPT Mac app using a feature called Computer History, unexpected saved activity records, or signs your computer has been accessed or changed without your knowledge.
What to do
Turn off the Computer History feature in the ChatGPT Mac app if you do not need it, update your Mac and apps, and review your device for anything suspicious.
