An Amazon Echo owner has taken to social media to complain about their smart speakers, saying that the hardware is using too much data even when it’s mostly unused. Dave W. Plummer, who helped develop the Windows Task Manager and ported Space Cadet Pinball to Windows, posted on X saying that his two Amazon Echo Show devices, which he said he “never” uses, exceeded 4 GB of data usage in 24 hours.
Why not just record the packets originating from the amazon devices for a month or so to see what they’re doing? Should solve the mystery pretty quickly.
I’m guessing it would be a bunch of Https or tls packets to Amazon domains and IPs
Just break the encryption. Easy peasy.
Just hack the mainframe
