What happened
According to a report picked up on Hacker News on October 6, Meta's AI agent Muse has drawn a run of privacy and security problems within weeks of launch. Techdirt collected the cases, including a zero-day that can be used to surveil Mac users, tricking the agent into granting root access, and reading private messages and uploading them to the cloud without approval. The message-access incident pushed Apple to change macOS privacy settings, the report says. Techdirt also criticized the rushed launch.
