## Executive Summary
The company is suspending the feature after security researchers discovered how easy it was to access sensitive information shared with the AI assistant



## Full Coverage
Like many online services, Muse has allowed users to share searches, conversations, images, and similar content with other people. Such share features usually involve clicking an option to create a unique URL that anyone can use to load a page hosting the content. To keep potentially sensitive information from being accessible to unintended people , the URLs typically contain a long sequence of text that can't be easily guessed

Muse, which Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said last month was "built from the ground up for privacy and security," seems to take the same precautions. But a central design decision for constructing URLs has made the links easy to discover. As a result, researchers from security firm Claroc said they were able to enumerate 6,800 links Muse users created for sharing conversations with others. After opening a few hundred of them, the researchers found information that was clearly not intended to be publicly available, including:

"If you had asked us beforehand, we would have guessed that gathering these would take real effort," the researchers wrote. "It took one query."
