Meta paused the Muse feature allowing users to share AI conversation links after researchers discovered thousands of these URLs publicly accessible on the web. Security firm Claroc published a report this week identifying more than 6,800 Muse links through public DNS records, exposing personal and business details contained within the chats. Muse spokesperson Tracy Clayton confirmed the company halted the functionality while reviewing the findings and considering changes to how these links operate. The pause addresses a critical privacy gap where anyone possessing a generated link could access sensitive data without additional authentication. This incident highlights the risks inherent in designing AI interfaces that prioritise easy sharing over strict access controls.
* Over 6,800 public links were identified by security researchers.
* Access to chats occurred without requiring further verification.
* Meta is currently reviewing how to restrict link sharing.
