Yahoo Finance Video•19 hours agoAmazon Echo spying on people
If you have an Amazon Echo, your private conversation may not be so private after all. KIRO TV in Seattle reports a family in Portland was alerted by her husband's employee- who was 176 miles away, to 'unplug your Alexa devices right now', you're being hacked. Their Amazon Echo had secretly recorded what they thought was a private conversation between the two of them, and sent the audio file to the employee who was in their address book. They didn't believe it until they heard it for themselves. Amazon engineers confirmed the story and apologized to the couple but according to the wife, the engineer did not provide specifics about why it happened, or if it's a widespread issue. --

Charles Schwab: Consumer Staples Sell-Off Overdone
Consumer staples stocks have been one of the worst performing sectors among the S&P 500 industries for more than a year now, but that sell-off in the makers of everything from ketchup to sunblock may be overdone, at least according to Brad Sorensen, head of market and sector analysis for Charles Schwab's Schwab Center for Financial Research. In a recent blog post, the analyst at The Charles Schwab Corporation ( SCHW) said that, while stocks in the sector have been getting beaten up over competition and concerns that rising costs could hurt margins, fears may be unwarranted. After all, when it comes to the retail sector, the one competitor that everyone is worried about is Amazon.com, Inc. ( AMZN).
