Alexa for Shopping Verifies Messages Against Amazon Records

The Verge reports that Amazon updated its Alexa for Shopping feature. The assistant now compares an incoming message against the company's full record of sent communications. This check aims to identify emails or texts that falsely claim to come from Amazon. Users can query the feature directly about a suspicious text or email. The report states that the system uses the complete history of Amazon messages to perform the verification. No further details on rollout or accuracy appear in the source posts.
