In the Early Amazon Echos there was a hack to update the firmware, but you
still needed a couple of minutes access to the physical device to set it up
to be hacked.
You hear so many badly tested or dodgy software in internet connected
devices these days, that one might have thought they would have been all
over this by now. A couple of years ago a well known companies heat pumps
used for eair conditioning were found to be vulnerable due to poor
protection from discovering their passwords to the wifi etc, which enabled
nasty characters to get into the system generally, Most systems are only as
good as their weakest link.
