After speculating the device could be a prime entry-point for hackers, Check Point researchers identify serious security flaws in Alexa, the intelligent virtual assistant made by Amazon with over 200 million devices shipped. In just one-click, a user could have given up their voice history, home address and control of their Amazon account.

• Security investigation finds Alexa and Amazon subdomains contained multiple vulnerabilities
• Attacker could have accessed voice history and personal information: banking data history, usernames, phone numbers and home address
• Attacker could have silently installed, viewed and removed Alexa skills
