Alexa, Siri and other voice systems are raising security worries - Business Insider

There's a chance such devices could also be used to compromise the smart speakers and other devices that are connected to them.

Hacking into one smart speaker at a time with a laser beam doesn't really qualify as something that's easily scalable, Gartner's Reynolds said. Even if criminals were able to compromise millions of smart speakers with malicious code, it's unclear what they could do with that ability. It would likely be difficult to turn that ability into a way to scam money, he said.

For their part, the leading voice assistant providers do say they keep security and privacy in mind with their products. They each allow users to delete recordings of their voice-assistant requests, and Google and Amazon allow users to review them first. Google's Home devices and Amazon's Echo smart speakers have physical buttons that allows users to turn off their microphones; Apple HomePod owners can turn off its mic via an app.
