HOWELL: The Amazon voice assistant, Alexa, can do many things and apparently even snoop on your private conversations. Our Anna Stewart explains.</s>ANNA STEWART, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It is a cautionary tale of technology telling too much. A woman in Oregon says Amazon's Alexa recorded and then e-mailed a random person with a private conversation that took place in her house.</s>DANIELLE, ECHO OWNER: I felt invaded, like total privacy invasion. Like immediately, I'm like I'm never plugging that device in again. I can't trust it.</s>STEWART (voice-over): Amazon Echo owner Danielle says she was chatting with her husband about hardwood floors when the device sent an audio file to a man who worked for her husband. She only found out about the recording when she received an alarming phone call.</s>DANIELLE: The person on the other line, said unplug your Alexa devices right now. We go around and unplug them all and he proceeded to tell us that he had received audio files, recordings from what was going on in our house.</s>STEWART (voice-over): Amazon told CNN affiliate KR7 (ph) the device misinterpreted commands like "send message" and the contact's name as part of the background conversation and called it an extremely rare occurrence. It is unknown if the couple didn't hear Alexa's voice replies or see the speaker light up when it was activated. Or if the device responded at all. By the way, it is a case of mixed signals that has a lot of consumers thinking twice about just who or what they bring into the house.</s>HOWELL: Creepy. More news after the break.
