Apple’s Siri feature may be good for some casual fun, but it’s bad for company security.
 
That’s according to F-Secure Vice President Maria Nordgren, who calls Apple’s iPhone and iPad voice assistant a major security liability for businesses, technology site V3 is reporting.
 
“Siri, it’s cute right? I like it, but if you ask it a question, the data is not stored on the iPhone — it goes to a data center in Oregon,” Nordgren said at a press conference. “If anyone was interested in that information you’re screwed,” Nordgren said.
 
With Siri data in hand, hackers could potentially gain access to information such as web searches, location data, and the names of contacts, she warned.
