Daily Cyber News: Meta AI assistant weakness puts connected accounts and devices at risk

A reported weakness in Meta’s Muse assistant could allow locally running applications or terminal commands to take control of a user’s Muse account. That matters because Muse can access WhatsApp, email, calendars, files, location, the microphone, and camera.

Key context: The reported attack changes the service Muse uses for transcription and captures the account token sent there.

Additional detail: For organizations, the main concern is permission concentration.
