  • The family received a phone call from one of the husband’s employees, who was a listed contact, warning to unplug the Echo devices because he had received a recording of the couple talking.
  • The Echo didn’t warn the owners that the recording was made or sent.
  • Amazon’s statement to local station KIRO 7: “Amazon takes privacy very seriously. We investigated what happened and determined this was an extremely rare occurrence. We are taking steps to avoid this from happening in the future.”
