Yep. So was couple. About Alexa. Same thing.
I'm not surprised that my GPS capable phone knows where I am at all times. I wouldn't be surprised if my Echo recorded my voice and sent a message to someone. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some major bugs yet to be addressed in the software for the Echo. I guess this is a little harsh, but my sympathies are somewhat lost on these people. Not their fault for what happened, but they did take a risk.
"A husband and wife in the privacy of their home have conversations that they're not expecting to be sent to someone (in) their address book,"
It just doesn't sit well with me.
