Meta pauses Muse chat sharing after 6,800 links surface in DNS

Security firm Claroc found that Muse's share links could be listed through public DNS records. Meta has paused sharing while it reviews the design.

  • Security firm Claroc says it listed 6,800 links that Muse users created to share conversations, using one passive DNS search.
  • Muse put each conversation's title into the link's subdomain, and public DNS records that address for anyone to search.

  • Meta has paused the sharing feature while it reviews how the links can be discovered.
