Hackers Can Hijack Siri and Alexa With $3 Worth of Parts
Voice-activated digital assistants have become one of the more pervasive technologies in the world, found on nearly every smartphone, with Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AAPL) Siri being one of the most well-known.
Once restricted to phones, these virtual helpers can now be found on a wide variety of devices. Smart speakers like Amazon.com's (NASDAQ: AMZN) Echo and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) Google Home top the list. The technology is present in many home computers via Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Cortana, and in an increasing number of cars, like the Audi (NASDAQOTH: AUDVF) Q3 with voice commands.
But hackers are hard at work trying to gain the upper hand in any computer technology, and voice control is high on their hit list.
