Researchers have used programmable low-powered lasers to remotely control voice-activated personal assistants like Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Assistant from up to 360 feet away. These attacks exploit a vulnerability in microphones using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), which the researchers have discovered will respond to lasers the same way they will respond to sound. The … Continue reading Researchers use lasers to hack Siri, Alexa, Google assistants
