Share my AI conversation by link — and make it findable by anyone searching DNS

Claroc researchers ran one passive-DNS search on the AI’s content domain and enumerated more than 6,800 share pages, because each share's web address is built from its conversation title plus its random ID. Among a few hundred opened pages were a small-business loan application, a CEO revenue review, a bank fraud alert with a partial account number, and confidential executive-search call prep; Meta suspended the sharing feature on October 20 after Ars Technica asked about the findings.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. User asks the AI to share a conversation
  2. The AI publishes it as a page whose hostname is the conversation title plus a random ID
  3. A recipient opening it writes that hostname into public DNS records
  4. One passive-DNS query returns 6,800+ shares by name
  5. Researchers open a few hundred with no account
  6. Meta suspends sharing on Oct 20

Why it’s worth knowing

The random ID meant to keep a share unguessable was published alongside the title in public DNS the first time anyone opened the link.
