Hacker Can Turn Siri And Google Now Against You
According to a report from Wired though, a pair of researchers at ANSSI a French government agency have figured out a way to use radio waves to silently activate Siri or Android’s Google Now from across the room. The hack only works if the target device has Siri or Google Now enabled, and has headphones or earbuds plugged in that also have a microphone. The attack could be used to anything you can do using the Siri or Google Now voice interaction. The attacker could make calls, send text messages, open websites, send spam or emails, or post to social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Attacks like these are possible but unlikely.
