Just last week, a couple in Portland, Oregon, contacted Amazon, saying their Alexa had somehow recorded their private conversation and sent it to a random person on their contact list.

Amazon released a statement, saying Alexa had misunderstood the couple several times and "as unlikely as this string of events is, we are evaluating options to make this case even less likely."

As for Mann’s case, consumer advocates say Alexa users can change their settings to disable voice purchasing through their Alexa, or they can require entry of a confirmation code before orders get placed.
