CoinVoice has recently learned that according to IT Home, developer Pedro Vieito posted a message on the Thread platform two days ago, saying that the macOS version of the ChatGPT application will store user conversations in plain text. OpenAI responded today that it has updated its application and encrypted chat records stored on Mac devices.

According to Vieito's analysis, since the conversations are stored in plain text outside the sandbox, this also means that the conversations can be accessed by other applications, processes, and even malware running on the Mac without the user's knowledge. [Original link]
