According to Beating, OpenAI’s macOS signing certificate will be revoked on May 8, rendering outdated versions of ChatGPT Desktop, Codex, Codex CLI, and Atlas inoperable and unable to receive updates. Users with Mac versions should update immediately through in-app updates or by downloading from OpenAI’s official website.
The revocation stems from a March 31 npm supply chain attack targeting Axios, a JavaScript HTTP library with over 70 million weekly downloads. Attackers used compromised maintainer credentials to release malicious versions that injected a fake dependency called plain-crypto-js, which automatically downloaded remote access trojans (RAT) affecting macOS, Windows, and Linux. Microsoft attributed the attack to North Korean threat actor Sapphire Sleet. OpenAI’s GitHub Actions workflow automatically pulled the malicious version during macOS app builds, but the company found no evidence of certificate theft, user data breaches, or system compromise.

This article introduces a prompt that can be put into Claude.md / Agents.md. It turns AI from a tactful assistant into a blunt consultant by adjusting four layers: identity setup, fact-checking, freeing the tone, and political-correctness exemption. It requires full coverage, step-by-step verification, and absolutely no hallucinations—if necessary, it can also be provocative. It also explains when to load it, the risks, and the applicable scenarios (research, writing, technical judgment, academic discussion), and notes that it is not suitable for customer service, education, or medical advice.

Apple settles a consumer class action for $250 million, with compensation of up to $95 per person
Apple agrees to settle AI advertising misrepresentation claims, reaching a $250 million amount. If the court approves, U.S. consumers in the U.S. who purchase specified iPhones during the period could receive up to $95 per device, covering iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, as well as iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max. The plaintiffs allege that Apple’s promotion portrayed Siri as an AI breakthrough, but the actual functionality did not meet the promises; Apple says the features were rolled out in phases, and it has already delivered multiple features, so this was not a false statement.
