Er...well there are these things called firewalls. All my PCs have them. so does my router

and what's there to get at anyway? nothing can write to my devices over LAN , without credentials, and there is nothing of interest to read in any shared folders.

If you must spread FUD, at least try to back it up with some relevant facts. Link to a report of a successful "via alexa" or "via google home" hack if you can find any evidence of one.

Meanwhile - feel free to unplug yours. Mine stays on. ask it to say "Honey I'm home" if you can hack it

PS maybe if you tried really really hard you could maliciously burn the popcorn ?
