What’s new
Meta says it has paused Muse’s share links while it reviews the report and considers changing how the links can be discovered.
Who it affects
Anyone who has shared a Muse conversation, and businesses whose staff put work details into AI chats.

Each shared chat got its own web address built from the conversation’s title plus a random ID. Security firm Claroc found those addresses in public DNS records, the internet’s directory of web addresses, which let it rebuild the links and open hundreds of chats. They included a marketing company’s revenue review, a small business owner’s loan application, a workplace’s staff calendar and notes for a job candidate’s call. Ars Technica reported the pause earlier.

Why it matters

Sharing features keep turning private AI chats into public pages: chats from ChatGPT, Claude and Grok have previously ended up in Google Search. As people use assistants for real work, a discoverable link becomes a data leak. Expect closer scrutiny of how AI apps design sharing, and treat any shared chat link as public.
