Echo hacks it's Self!!!

Echo says:- "Your a stupid piece of tech echo" the same echo replies "no I'm not" "turn yourself off"echo says to itself.

"OK" says echo and turns it's self off!!!

Attackers can force Amazon Echos to hack themselves with self-issued commands

Popular “smart” device follows commands issued by its own speaker. What could go wrong?

Hacking. To think that there is ethical hacking as a course these days.

Technology isn't inherently evil but there is evil in the world and it uses devices like this to do evil things.

I wonder how costly it would be to to make these devices recognize people using voice prints so only YOU or someone YOU authorize can give commands. This would need to be part of the set up. That isn't a complete solution but it stops a lot of bad things.
