Malwarebytes reports Patrick Wardle's finding that a local app can change an undocumented Muse setting to redirect dictation traffic, exposing voice prompts and account auth tokens.
The attack needs local code execution first, but researchers say Muse's broad service access and macOS permissions make it an attractive backdoor. No patch was mentioned at publication.
$META just went from 3.5% to 45.4% token share on OpenCode in just over two weeks Muse Spark 1.3 being good + free is enough to become the default for most users Default gets you usage → usage gets you data → data makes the next model better Anthropic and OpenAI can’t afford

DesignRush argued Muse inserts itself into product discovery and ranks on structured data like specs and reviews rather than ad spend, and told brands to map the agent shopping journey, measure agent referrals separately, and audit who can access their product data.

Taylor Arndt retried Muse after Meta Connect with Gmail, Google Calendar, GitHub and her own product-management tool connected, and found it inferred her COO role from calendar data and became useful for ongoing task management.

Got Muse logged in to my medical provider’s portal, he pulled the itemized bills, and questioned every line. So far he’s found several times I’d been double billed, asked for some discounts and has saved me over $4,000. If your moat is bureaucracy, you’re cooked.

Muse built me a private library for the e-books and articles in my Google Drive. Everything is organized by topic, and each section opens onto its own subcategorized shelves. Each book opens like a real book and is readable in-app

I still can’t believe I can run my plumbing company with an agent so easily. I send this message to my Muse agent while in bed at 6am. And it: updates my job board, texts customer, updates office manager who arrives at 8am in slack Notifies technician
