Within five month of that tick bite, i lost every part of who i was. Reporter scientists say its not the Sand Sun bathers need to worry about, but, rather, the walk to it.

Reporter the Tech Giant said sidewalk will help devices stay connected even if your internet goes down by sharing Internet Bandwidthth with yourur neighbo. But Privacacy Expererts say Consumumers Shouldld be worried. My biggest concern is essentially that consumers may not be awarE That amazon is turning on this feature on their device, exposing them to some potential Security And Privacy risks. Alexa, turn on the fan. O okay. Reporter Tech Analyst Dan Newman believes the Security Risk to Consumer Data are minimal. Why do you think these concerns are overblown . Amazon knows whats at stake. If the company is to fail to secure peoples networks through its sidewalk service, theres going to be a major fallout.
