Alexa spies on couple in house

Ironically, the couple had joked that their Amazon Alexa could be listening in to their private conversations. This shortly became a reality when it was found that a conversation the couple had in their own home was recorded by Alexa. This came to light when Amazon's artificial intelligence sent the recording to someone on the couple's contact list, seemingly at random. The recipient was one of the employees of the husband, based in Seattle (some 176 miles away from the couple's home). After warning the couple, the recipient then decided to alert the media.
