from the WSJ CIO Journal:
Amazon Alexa-powered device shared user's conversation without permission. Confirming a report by a local television station in Seattle, Amazon.com Inc. said that one of its Echo home speakers mistakenly recorded a private conversation and sent it to a person in the owners' contact list, the WSJ's Laura Stevens reports. The company said that the Echo device misunderstood pieces of a conversation as commands, causing it to think it was being instructed to send the message.
