In this article, Howard Soloman talk about smart speaker assistants such as alexa and google home devices being a threat to security. German security researchers created apps for these smart speakers, which either eavesdrop on users, or steal your passwords by requesting it for a fake update.

Hello, how different is the home smart speaker than our cell phone? Similar concept….someone is always listening and or watching.

Wondering the same as @jporras. Certainly we ought to be concerned about the threat of the smart speaker beside our bed and in our living room… how much more should we be concerned about the device we carry literally everywhere with us.
Still, the idea that my smart speaker might initiate a phishing attack as I sit in my living room reading a book that is sobering. Maybe the smart speaker phishing attach even deserves a new name… an audiophish… or something.
