ChatGPT’s new feature could give infostealers a map of your Mac activity
OpenAI introduced a Computer History feature for ChatGPT that creates a timeline of Mac user activity, including app usage and website visits, to provide context for AI interactions. Security researchers have raised concerns that this feature could expose sensitive activity patterns to infostealer malware if a system is compromised.
Why it matters: Mac users adopting this feature face elevated risk from credential and data theft malware that could map their computing habits and sensitive workflows; security teams should evaluate whether to restrict or monitor this capability in their environments.

ChatGPT’s new feature could give infostealers a map of your Mac activity
OpenAI released a Computer History feature that logs recent Mac activity for use by ChatGPT and Codex. The feature aggregates actions into summaries and records which applications and websites contributed to each entry. Security researchers warn that the stored timeline could be harvested by infostealers to reconstruct user behavior.
Why it matters: Mac users who have enabled ChatGPT’s Computer History feature are exposed to infostealers that could extract the activity timeline to map behavior, so practitioners should review the feature’s settings and monitor for unauthorized access.
