Researchers from the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs have discovered an alarming new cyberattack that can target your smart speakers, smartphones, tablets and more, without you even knowing. The attack consists of an inaudible prompt that can be picked up by voice recognition technology to exploit a vulnerability and proceed with malicious activity, like downloading malware. Fortunately, the vulnerability has been highlighted by researchers rather than actual cybercriminals, however unless Big Tech acts quickly, it may soon spread into a global cyberattack on a huge scale.
