OUR TAKE
There is a worrying security issue with the pre-update ChatGPT macOS app: If a bad actor or malicious app gets access to your machine, they can easily read your conversations with ChatGPT and the data contained therein.
–Zora Lin, BTW reporter
What happened
ChatGPT macOS app previously released by OpenAI is accused of high security risks by storing conversations in plain text. OpenAI launches a new version of encrypted conversations in a timely manner to maintain high security standards.
OpenAI spokesperson Taya Christianson says in a statement: “We are aware of the issue and have launched a new version of the app that encrypts these conversations. As technology evolves, we are committed to providing a useful user experience.”
After downloading the update, the security concerns of the macOS version software have been eliminated and plain text conversations can no longer be seen.
