ChatGPT macOS Keystroke Logging: Urgent Privacy Alert
Summary
A new Chat GPT feature for macOS is raising urgent privacy questions. This feature logs user keystrokes and stores them in plain text. What's happening is that the macOS Chat GPT version records everything you type, not just what you submit. This includes sensitive data like API keys, passwords, or personal details, even if you delete them before sending. Security researchers found this logging mechanism can capture information beyond just message text. It records context, turning accidental input into stored exposure. If you use Chat GPT on a Mac, you need to re-check your app permissions and any logging options. You should also avoid typing secrets into prompts until OpenAI clarifies its data practices. This is important because it could expose your private information.
