A security firm discovered 6,800 publicly accessible Muse links containing sensitive information, including a marketing company's revenue figures, a workplace calendar, and a loan application.

Meta has responded by pausing a Muse feature that enables users to share conversation artifacts. In a statement to The Verge, Muse spokesperson Tracy Clayton explained that while users have the ability to create shareable links, the platform has suspended this functionality to review the security report and consider modifications to link discovery methods.

The problematic feature allowed users to generate web addresses based on the conversation's title and a random ID. Researchers utilized public DNS records to reconstruct these links and exposed private data, including financial reviews for a marketing firm, loan applications for small business owners, internal staff calendars, and notes for job candidate interviews.

This situation highlights a recurring issue in the AI sector, where conversations with OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, and xAI's Grok have previously been exposed through public search results.
