>"Unplug your Alexa devices right now," the user, Danielle (no last name given), was told by her husband's colleague in Seattle after he received full audio recordings between her and her husband, according to the KIRO-7 report. The disturbed owner, who is shown in the report juggling four unplugged Echo Dot devices, said that the colleague then sent the offending audio to Danielle and her husband to confirm the paranoid-sounding allegation. (Before sending the audio, the colleague confirmed that the couple had been talking about hardwood floors.)
>After calling Amazon customer service, Danielle said she received the following explanation and response: "'Our engineers went through all of your logs. They saw exactly what you told us, exactly what you said happened, and we're sorry.' He apologized like 15 times in a matter of 30 minutes. 'This is something we need to fix.'"
>Danielle next asked exactly why the device sent recorded audio to a contact: "He said the device guessed what we were saying." Danielle didn't explain exactly how much time passed between the incident, which happened "two weeks ago," and this customer service response.
>When contacted by KIRO-7, Amazon confirmed the report and added in a statement that the company "determined this was an extremely rare occurrence." Amazon didn't clarify whether that meant such automatic audio-forwarding features had been built into all Echo devices up until that point, but the company added that "we are taking steps to avoid this from happening in the future."
are you trying to tell me that maybe i shouldn't put listening devices made by a company who works for the CIA in my home? nonsense.

I'd hate to be that CSR. All you can do is apologize and agree that it needs to be fixed. Everything you own is spying on you, unfortunately. Even your microwaves (I know, I know... but it's true whether you believe it or not).

That doesn't change the fact that Amazon took $600 million from the CIA.

I got a new washing machine that was on sale super cheap for an LG. It's got wifi and it will periodically connect to any open ad hoc network so I gutted the adapter. No more spy washer

You still have a smart phone in your pocket. What do you think it is doing 24/7?
They are programmed to listen for and respond to phrases like "hey, Siri" or "OK google". That means the mic is on 24/7 listening and proccessing the audio to listen for those phrases.
What other phrases is it programmed to listen for and send reports if it hears? They could make it listen for literally any phrase. People have to be ridiculously naive to think they are only listening for a single phrase.

I thought Google disabled that when the phone was locked? I know my S4 doesn't respond when I do it if it's locked. I keep the battery out of mine about 80% of the day anyway, so I'm not too worried about it either way.

No I was just pointing out how odd your insult was because literally yesterday there was a thread about how Jews projected that shit onto white people. You can't even hide the fact you're a hook nosed kike.

Here is a picture of Zuck with his mic and webcam covered on his laptop. Think he knows something we don't?
I'm amazed there haven't been more whistleblowers. Thousands and thousands of people working on the inside and apparently 99.99% of them are cool with all the spying, or at least not troubled enough to expose it.
Programmers are all leftist sheep.
Leo Scott
Yes I can, stop trying to fish a time stamped picture of my foreskin. Amerilards love mayo, call me a kike for pointing out the obvious
Kayden Martinez
Since americans are unarguably the most submissive population outside the UK, the only option is becoming a near luddite. I have a 3g flip phone with a potato camera, no wifi in my house, and i drive old cars.

I doubt big companies like these outsource to Pajeet, so their core developers must be getting paid top £ for their time, with perhaps a little hush £ on the side.

You called us people zealots and fanatics but we are in the right. I know exactly what is going on with any of my devices and what data is being transmitted.
I can't speak for Amazon, but facebook employees know full well what facebook is, and they don't use it, aside from being required to have an account for their jobs. They are worse than sheep. They would literally do anything for money.
Jordan Perez
Have you guys noticed how Mark Zuckerberg has been asked the question multiple times about Facebook's "shadow profiles" where they will create profiles of people who aren't even members of that site? He's always incapable of answering any questions related to that and visibly gets flustered and shaken when asked those questions.
Isaac Davis
Why is this even a list, as in who spent their time even researching this, and then posted it on wikipedia?
William Mitchell
the funny thing is average people know what these devices will do, they know what social media will do, but they still purchase & partake in the madness.
>protip: all you need is a tv, vidya console, lappy. shut your router off when not using data. leave all social media, you can live withouf a cellular
Jack Ross
Technology is supposed to enhance our humanity, but it doesn't. The corporations are trying to shape the public consciousness as they see fit. They have perverted technology to fit their needs rather than use it as a way to enhance all our lives.
Joshua Bailey
Can't smartphones do the same thing? Laptops tend to have built in mics.....this shit is all getting a bit retarded.
>>shut your router off when not using data There is already ubiquitous Wi-Fi in some areas owned by ISPs. While (you) using it would need to sign in and what not, I have no doubt there's some Jewish backdoor that lets Microsoft and the rest of them send shit without your consent. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft has it build where their services piggyback of any available Wi-Fi connection for spying purposes, but doesn't let you use that internet for yourself.
Luis Smith
Why the fuck would a washing machine need wifi in the first place?
>Good goy, here, check out this new digital assistant device! Look, I'll even give you a discount, what a steal! Come on, just buy it! I'll repeat what the other user said: If you willingly purchase and use a product like this designed by a company that literally harvests data for the CIA and FBI, you are a fucking moron. It would be stupid even if it was free or given to you as a gift.

Asher Morris
It's worse than that. SS7 makes any device connected to it vulnerable to remote exploits like real-time tracking, and eavesdropping/dropping/redirecting phone calls. The whole point of the lecture is that the entire protocol stack is compromised, it doesn't matter what the end-user device is or if it's FOSS.
The vulnerabilities in the protocols make mobile networks literally global botnets.
Nathan Nguyen

My cousin gave me one of these for free. I have it sitting next to my computer, where I frequently spout racist slurs as I play video games. They can collect my data, I don't give a shit.

There are ways to mitigate the issues. >turn on phone only to make calls >use an Iridium satellite pager (it's like a regular pager but the message is broadcasted to the entire continent you're on) >alternatively, set up a mail server that can receive text messages >stay online with laptop/desktop, get messages there or at the very least >open up your phone (yes, you can open any phone without breaking it), unsolder the mic(s) and cameras, plug in external mic/headset for phone calls to prevent eavesdropping Still the main takeaway here is that you can't use phones for any kind of secure communication.

You're probably right, I was referring to their contract with the CIA to provide "cloud storage".

I have a really strong feeling that Jeff Bezos, Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Jack Dorsey, Steve Huffman and other tech CEOs and executives are going to go to prison for a very very very long time. That is if they don't get put to death for treason.

Anyone with a Google Home or a samsung smart tv, which is connected to your google account: While the device is inactive, try repeating some obscure keywords you normally wouldn't use. Like a product you definitely wouldn't even think of buying.
Google doesn't disable that even if Airplane mode is on. Australia is investigating Google because each Android phone secretly sends 1GB of data each month to their Headquarters.
