It’s silly that radios and podcasts and random people have the ability to trigger Alexa just by saying the name. “Hey Siri” gets around the issue by only listening for your voice, not just anyone. It’s shocking that anyone would build a voice assistant with zero authentication or authorization built in, so much so that an advertisement on the radio or TV can trigger an action on your device like on an Echo.
