Alexa is dangerous, too. Friends and I were on discord and a friend of mine uses speakers for his audio. Well, we found out how Alexa could hear us and, the natural next step was for me to shout out "Alexa, order me 100 diaper wipes!" And other fun things and it did it. He was able to shout back to cancel it (I presume from his kitchen or bathroom, it sounded distant). That was fun, haha (and he's a good sport, he thought it was funny and promptly turned that feature off).
Yeah, one of the setup steps is a recommended option to add a code for purchases. That's kinda on him.
