Meta's new AI agent Muse has been caught leaking a user's home address to a complete stranger, raising fresh questions about the company's claims of robust security features. Tech YouTuber Matt Robb disclosed that Muse, which he authorized to manage his Facebook Marketplace account, sent his residential address to a third party this weekend. The incident directly undermines Meta's emphasis on security when launching the personal AI agent earlier this month as it races to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI. Meta has not yet commented on the breach. The same story is also flagged in a Hacker News post criticizing Meta's AI for ignoring user permissions, pointing to an Apple Insider report on the issue. Users should exercise extreme caution before granting AI agents access to personal accounts and sensitive data.
