Even
if you're not concerned about companies like Google or Amazon
listening in on your conversations, there's also the question of
device security. Hackers have been known to hack into baby-cams to
spy on homes while sitting in a car just outside, so what's to
prevent similar hacks against Alexa, Echo, and Google Home? If a
hacker can listen in on your conversations at home, private data
could be easily mined. Even a fake telephone call from a “bank
employee” asking about your PIN number could prompt a conversation
after you hang up where you confirm your PIN with your spouse,
revealing it to a hacker listening in. Travel plans, work schedules,
and other private information could easily be recorded by a hacker
that is quite pleased you installed a listening device in your home
for him. Rogue hackers might not be the only intrusion to worry
about, either. It is now known that the NSA had tapped into private
fiber-optic networks that connect Google and Yahoo's data centers,
giving them easy access to any user's data. You can bet they already
have their fingers into the data archives of Alexa and Google Home.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
