The outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted modern working life and brings us a new working style: Remote working. However, working from home can still be vulnerable to eavesdropping because of IoT devices. According to recent research, Alexa can be accidentally activated and record conversations up to 19 times a day. In this case, if you are a lawyer dealing with a very important case involving dirty money, local politicians, a power utility and three former contestants on The Bachelor. Once you mention the word “congresswoman” during the conversation, the Alexa would be activated and start to record as “congresswoman” was one of the words that made Alexa think she was being summoned. However, the possible result in Alexa recording the details of this call and it mysteriously becomes a New York Post-level scandal: “Bachelor contestants and local pols conned Edison out of $50 million.”
