Send emails is one example. I don't use Siri, but apparently it can send emails including to multiple recipients. The "danger" is only limited by your imagination in the scenario where a malicious stranger has access to your email client.
- newsbinator 8y agoI guess you could tell Siri, > Send an email to my mom that says, "I have an emergency and I need $2000. Here's the account number to send it to: 12345. Mom, please don't ask questions. This is urgent. Send the money now." Would Siri lookup your mom's email and send that?
- exodust 8y agoI have no idea, but a "smarter" email would be "mum can I borrow $100, pay you back ASAP, just a bit short today sorry and thanks!"... Mum would be less inclined to phone you in a panic.
- calimac 8y agoYes, Siri knows family
- Infernal 8y agoIf you have previously identified one of your contacts as your mother, yes. If not, Siri will ask who your mother is and if Siri should remember that piece of information.
- Infernal 8y agoTagging on to say I just tried this - even though I activate Siri without unlocking, I was asked to unlock my phone to continue with the email.
- djrogers 8y agoIn practice this will not work - assuming you only have a single email address for 'mom', it then will prompt you to unlock your phone, then show a confirmation screen with a send button on it. There are way too many interaction steps required by the device owner to make this specific one a feasible attack.
