Two French researchers from the French Intelligence Agency ANSSI discovered that hackers can control a mobile device remotely using the personal voice assistant. The hack works only if the targeted device has the headphones plugged into its jack, under these conditions the attack works without even speaking a word. The researchers presented their discovery this summer at the Hack in Paris conference. The French researchers already reported the attack to both Apple and Google, the Apple’s Siri and Androids Google Now. The attackers are able to make calls, send SMS, dial the attacker’s number so he can eavesdrop.”]
