With a Laser, Researchers Say They Can Hack Alexa, Google Home or Siri

What a nice trick! Interesting that dust guards doesn&#x27;t block it, wonder if it is direct momentum transfer or heat expansion in the target material that drives the signal...<p>They have a pretty nice website for this trick too: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lightcommands.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lightcommands.com&#x2F;</a>

&quot;Researchers in Japan and at the University of Michigan said Monday that they had found a way to take over Google Home, Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri devices from hundreds of feet away by shining laser pointers, and even flashlights, at the devices’ microphones.&quot;
