In a proof-of-concept video the boffins place a phone in an empty conference room three metres (10 feet) from a speaker. Commands are issued that sound to like a drowning dalek to Vulture South’s ears. That garbling makes the commands difficult for humans to understand but passable for Siri and her ilk.
The attackers activate airplane mode (a denial of service attack), and open website xkcd.com which they write in the paper could be substituted for a phishing or malware download site.
