CameronDev,

Almost every OS nowadays has some form of microphone detection right? So if this was on, you would be aware of it? And to jump ahead, even google is incentivised to prevent this company listening in, as they are direct competitor.

I wonder if this company is just trying to fleece advertisers with a made up tech? The “Claim your exclusive territory before your competitor” feels like the high pressure tactics that other scams use?

I might go disable the microphone in my TV remote anyway :/

CameronDev,

Yup, for sure, but while a nation state can risk exploitting a zero day to turn on your microphone, an ad tech company certainly can’t. As soon as it get patched they’d be ruined.

CameronDev,

Oh, absolutely. Google/apple/MS definitely could do this. But some no-name company? Not really.

CameronDev,

They are literally publically claiming that they have a zero day (or at least a zero day level capability). Google/Apple would be all over it trying to fix it. Cyber security researchers would be all over it as well.

NSA can get away with using 0 days for years because they keep quiet about them, and dont use them frivilously.
