Meta pauses Muse share links after chats found on the web
Original title: Meta pauses Muse sharing after researchers find AI chats on the web
Claroc rebuilt more than 6,800 Muse share URLs from public DNS records, exposing business and personal chats.
Meta paused a Muse feature that lets users share AI conversations by link after security firm Claroc found the URLs discoverable on the web. Claroc said it found more than 6,800 Muse links through public DNS records because each hostname included the share title and a random ID. Researchers viewed conversations that included a marketing company's revenue review, a loan application, a workplace staff calendar, and job-candidate notes. Meta said it paused sharing while it reviews the report and considers changes to how the links can be discovered.
Unconfirmed: The count of exposed conversations is Claroc's finding; Meta has not confirmed how many links were viewed.
- Share URLs are built from a conversation title plus a random ID.
- A hostname from DNS was enough to rebuild the full link.
- Meta spokesperson Tracy Clayton confirmed the pause in a statement.
- Similar public exposure has affected ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok shares.
Impact: Shared Muse chats, including business records, were publicly readable
