When Wikileaks released a data dump early this week containing CIA files revealing the Agency’s unprecedented clandestine hacking activities, many consumers were left wondering whether their own devices were acting as direct conduits to CIA snooping.

After peppering Alexa with two questions, “Alexa, would you lie to me?” and “Alexa, what is the CIA?”, the Echo owner went in for the kill: “Alexa, are you connected to the CIA?” It’s Alexa’s lack of a response that led to the woman’s original Twitter post on March 8 and the subsequent rumblings across the web less than 24 hours later.

An interview with @localbusinessco

Sam Cook: We’ve known each other for a long time. You’ve said on previous occasions that you’ve always wanted a video to go viral. Why do you think this particular video ended up getting so popular so quickly?

Localbusinesscon:  I believe the video went viral because of timing. The world was buzzing about Wikileaks and the CIA and the video hit at the right moment.

LBC: There is always a concern with privacy and who is watching or gathering data on you. Even the FBI Director told us not to expect complete privacy.

SC: Did the recent Wikileaks data dump on the CIA spur you to question Alexa, or have you always had these concerns?

LBC: Yes, it did. I don’t go around every day looking over my shoulder and looking for unmarked cars on my street. However, after reading the Wikileaks Vault7 material, I just became interested in what Alexa would say.

SC: Did Alexa’s response concern you? Do you think the CIA is actually spying on you through the device?

LBC: Alexa’s response did not concern me. I was mostly just amused by the answer. This is what propelled me to catch Alexa’s response on video and upload it. If I thought it was funny, others would too.

SC: Considering the attention the video has received, do you think the CIA might turn their eye toward you now?

LBC: OMG I hope and pray not!

SC: Will you be returning your Alexa or be more careful about what you say around it now?

LBC: It was a Christmas gift (thank you so much, family). Of course, it’s not supposed to wake up until I call it right?

SC: Do you have other connected devices you are worried might be compromising your privacy?

LBC: I have a camera on my desktop which I have put tape over, does this count?

LBC:  Well, I am happy I was able to help them fix the problem, even if it was inadvertently.

SC: You also mentioned that you don’t really buy Alexa’s new response. Why is that?

SC: Finally, would you consider yourself a conspiracy theorist?

LBC: According to my husband, Yes.

@localbusinesscon is not alone in her skepticism. Many Americans are increasingly worried about the federal government spying on its own citizens, especially after the 2013 Edward Snowden disclosures. Additionally, a 2016 Pew Research survey revealed that most Americans (57%) believe that U.S. government spying on its own citizens is unacceptable, although the same survey also revealed that most Americans believe the government could do more to protect citizens from terrorism.
