Amazon's "Alexa" Throws her own party in an empty room, Forcing police to break in.

Date- 10th November 2017.

A man says Amazon's Alexa threw its own “party” at his flat in the early hours of the morning, forcing the police to intervene. Oliver Haberstroh, who lives in Hamburg, says his "Alexa"-enabled speaker started playing music at full-blast in the early hours of the morning, when nobody was at home to control it. She decided to have it at a very inconvenient time, between 1.50am and 3.00am.

Police had to break into his sixth-floor flat in order to investigate the disturbance, which was reported to them by Mr Haberstroh’s neighbors.

The voice-controlled speaker started playing music between 1:50am and 3am. Mr Haberstroh says he was on a night out at the time.

After returning home to find a new lock on his door, he visited the police station and was given the corresponding set of keys and an invoice.

“While I was relaxed and enjoying a beer, Alexa managed on her own, without command and without me using my mobile phone, to switch on at full volume and have her own party in my apartment,” he wrote on Facebook.

Amazon, which has offered to cover Mr Haberstroh’s bill, claims Alexa didn’t malfunction, but was "remotely activated". “Working directly with the customer, we have identified the reason for the incident,” the company told the Inquirer.
