Researchers hack Siri, Alexa, and Google Home with lasers

This sounds like something out of a spy movie!

Researchers have published a way to hack voice assistants with lasers!

As noted by Ars Technica, “Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are vulnerable to attacks that use lasers to inject inaudible—and sometimes invisible—commands into the devices and surreptitiously cause them to unlock doors, visit websites, and locate, unlock, and start vehicles, researchers report in a research paper published on Monday. Dubbed Light Commands, the attack works against Facebook Portal and a variety of phones.”
