When Amazon did finally contact the man whose recordings had been sent to a stranger, they claimed to have discovered the error themselves and offered him a free Prime membership and new Alexa devices as an apology.<ref name=":4" /> Amazon blamed the incident on "[[human error]]" and called it an "isolated single case". However, in May 2018 an Alexa device in Portland, Oregon, recorded a family's conversation and sent it to one of their contacts without their knowledge. The company dismissed the incident as an "extremely rare occurrence" and claimed the device "interpreted background conversation" as a sequence of commands to turn on, record, send the recording, and select a specific recipient.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/25/business/amazon-alexa-conversation-shared-echo.html|title=Is Alexa Listening?

This has necessitated the creation of regulations that can protect users' private information from technology companies. A New Hampshire judge ruled in November 2018 that authorities could examine recordings from an Amazon Echo device recovered from the home of murder victim Christine Sullivan for use as evidence against defendant Timothy Verrill. Investigators believe that the device, which belonged to the victim's boyfriend, could have captured audio of the murder and its aftermath.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/11/09/amazon-echo-recordings-new-hampshire-farmington-january-2017-double-murder-trial-timothy-verrill/|title=Amazon Echo Recordings Could Contain Evidence For NH Double-Murder Trial|date=November 9, 2018|language=en|access-date=December 23, 2018|archive-date=November 12, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112113232/https://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/11/09/amazon-echo-recordings-new-hampshire-farmington-january-2017-double-murder-trial-timothy-verrill/|url-status=live}}</ref> During the [[Watts family homicides|Chris Watts]] interrogation/interview video<ref>{{Citation|last=Thrivin' for the Truth|title=Breaking!
