It was just this past May that Amazon had to explain itself after Alexa recorded a family’s private chats on their Echo speaker, and then accidentally sent them to a third party. At the time, Amazon explained that Alexa heard a word in the background that sounded like “Alexa” at which point it recorded the conversation and sent it as a message to a contact. A new report now details a similar Alexa mishap. But this time around, it’s Amazon that sent an Echo user more than 1,000 recordings belonging to someone else.
