Amazon Echo sends long recording of couple's private conversation to their friend

A family had a private conversation broadcast across the internet to a friend by their Amazon Echo. The horrifying discovery began with an equally chilling phone call, telling them to unplug their devices immediately. "You're being hacked," the voice said. As it turns out, that person had accidentally been sent a full recording of the family's conversation. The sounds had been picked up and then sent by the Echo to a friend, who could then hear the entire conversation.
