Amazon’s Alexa Is Not Even Remotely Secure and I Really Don’t Care

Forty-eight Cadbury Creme Eggs are en route to my house and it’s all Alexa’s fault. Alexa is incredibly useful. It gives you the weather as you stumble to the bathroom in the morning, and the news as you stumble back to your bedroom. It plays smooth jazz for your dog when you’re away and sets…
