This is basically worst case scenario. Something lots of people have predicted for the last 10+ years. Kudos to the person that found the bug. Kudos to Google

This is basically worst case scenario. Something lots of people have predicted for the last 10+ years. Kudos to the person that found the bug. Kudos to Google for not being the slimy people we expect them to be and actually paid some money. An exploit like this is worth millions on the black market. The mere chance that a target has a Google smart speaker in their home that can be exploited with this is worth millions. Not every target needs a Google smart speaker for it to be valuable. Only one makes it worth millions, because that target is probably important.
