Re: Bug?

Nah just the software isn't being used in the way their software team expected

I don't think so. I had a ping that this "feature" has been known for at least 3 months by some parties who are not quite as diligent to pass on bugs to the manufacturer, they use them instead for fun and profit.

The best way to have a confidential meeting is still without any electronics, but given that we are living in a world where people find it normal to have Google Home and Amazon Alexa listening to their every word I have the impression that people have gone numb to the risks.
