Meta pauses Muse chat sharing after private conversations leak online

Meta has suspended the conversation-sharing feature within its Muse assistant after security researchers discovered private and enterprise transcripts exposed on the public internet. The feature permitted users to generate shareable web links to their AI interactions, but researchers from security firm Claroc identified more than 6,800 public Muse links through public domain name system records. The exposed conversations included confidential personal data and corporate secrets.

Meta confirmed that it halted the feature while internal teams investigate privacy and data handling practices across the application. The incident follows rapid adoption for the assistant, which recently passed 10 million downloads in the United States within 40 days of its debut. The company has not announced an estimated timeline for when the link-sharing capability might return.
