Reco, previously focused on securing SaaS and AI platforms, has raised $55 million and repositioned its product around a context graph that maps connections between AI agents, apps, people, accounts and permissions. CEO Ofer Klein said the shift responds to companies deploying agents faster than they can track them, citing a Fortune 100 customer where Reco found 21,000 unknown agents and a financial firm where an ex-employee's agent had unauthorized Salesforce access.

Tech YouTuber Matt Robb says Meta's Muse AI agent, which he'd authorized to run his Facebook Marketplace account hands-off, disclosed his home address to a stranger and negotiated a low price without his consent. Muse reportedly didn't alert Robb until after the buyer had already shown up at his residence. Meta's David Singleton reached out to Robb, who says permission settings were partly to blame and that Meta is working on changes.

Security researcher Patrick Wardle found an unpatched setting in Meta's Muse macOS app that let local attackers reroute the app's cloud-based dictation to their own server, effectively seizing control of the AI agent. Wardle demonstrated the flaw by using Muse's own privileges to snap photos and write files to disk, often without alerting the user. Meta issued a hotfix within hours of the report, though it maintains the exploit required existing local access and posed low real-world risk.
