Cortana Can Expose Enterprises to Attacks, Researchers Warn

itman · Mar 8, 2018

Malicious actors may be able to abuse voice-based virtual assistants to hack into enterprise systems and researchers proved it through an attack that targets Microsoft Cortana.

Independent researchers Amichai Shulman, former CTO and co-founder of Imperva, and Tal Be’ery, former VP of research at Microsoft-acquired security firm Aorato, have found a way to conduct an evil maid attack that abuses the Cortana voice assistant to install malware onto a locked computer. The researchers are detailing their findings on Friday at Kaspersky Lab’s Security Analyst Summit (SAS) in Cancun, Mexico.

In Windows 10, if default settings are not changed, any user can interact with Cortana by saying “Hey Cortana,” and it works even if the device is locked.
