Could your Google Home leak your location to hackers?

A security researcher found a potential privacy leak in the two devices. Google is preparing to plug a potential privacy leak with its Google Home smart speakers and Chromecast television devices that could reveal your location. The vulnerability was discovered by the Tripwire security firm. Researcher Craig Young blogged that the problem stems from fundamental design choices that he says are prevalent among Internet of Things devices. One such issue, Young writes, is that such "devices rarely require authentication for connections received on a local network."
