- Meta paused the Muse conversation-sharing feature after researchers found the shared links were publicly available on the open web, as first covered by Ars Technica.
- Claroc researchers uncovered more than 6,800 exposed shared Muse chat URLs in a report published this week.
- The halted feature specifically enabled users to share their conversations with Meta's Muse AI assistant, and the generated share links were apparently discoverable without authentication.
Why it matters: With more than 6,800 AI conversation URLs exposed, anyone who used Muse's share button may have inadvertently broadcast personal details to a public audience. For Meta, this compounds the privacy scrutiny already dogging Muse — including a prior address leak — right as the company pushes aggressive consumer adoption of the assistant.
