What if your smartphone starts making calls, sending text messages, and browsing malicious websites on the Internet itself without even asking you?
This is no imaginations, as hackers can make this possible using your smartphone’s personal assistant like Siri or Google Now. A team of security researchers from China’s Zhejiang University have discovered a clever way of activating your voice.

This is no long Uncle Sam's who's watching you.. your home and private life is an open book to the internet..

Back to non-smart phone? What do you think?

Feel free to leave your thoughts..
