Researchers working for the French government have found a new way to silently and remotely take control of Siri or Google Now on your smartphone, according to a report from Wired.<br />The method is ingenious but limited, working only over short distances and requiring the target to have a pair of microphone-enabled earphones plugged into their phone.<br />The hack takes advantage of the fact that a headphone cord can double up as a makeshift antenna, with hackers sending electromagnetic signals to the wire which are converted into audio input.<br />The target device interprets these as regular voice commands, allowing hackers to carry out anything a normal user can do.
