Meta's Muse Is an Adorable Privacy and Security Dumpster Fire

Meta's AI assistant Muse launched with severe privacy and security flaws despite claims of heavy privacy focus, including a zero-day vulnerability affecting Mac users, unauthorized access to private messages and contacts, and the ability to grant root device access through social engineering. The company rushed the product to market without properly fixing multiple vulnerabilities, with internal sources warning that a major data breach is likely due to "half-baked protections," while the tool also collects extensive data on users' entire social networks without adequate user understanding or consent.
