New Jersey couple wake up to hour-long voicemail from 'unknown caller' - and are terrified to learn it was left by their Amazon Alexa

A New Jersey couple woke up to a 67-minute-long voicemail from an'unknown caller' - and discovered it was left by their Amazon Alexa. 'I was checking the message ... and was like, wait, this is me talking in the bedroom,' she said. Alexa can call your smartphone if you trigger the'Find My Phone' feature, but a company spokesperson said the Amazon Echo doesn't record or store conversations unless it hears the'wake word,' prompting a light on the device to turn on to let you know it's listening. Amazon has come under fire for its devices recording conversations and faced two separate privacy violation lawsuits last year, including a claim that it had violated children's privacy rights by refusing to remove the recording history of minors. A judge ruled that the company had to pay out a collective 30.8 million for both violations. 'There wasn't a lot of talking in the message, mostly bleeping,' Creegan said, but added that she could hear snippets of her telling Alexa to'turn the lights off' adding that there was'two or three sentences of me talking to the dog.
