With the increasing integration of voice assistants in smart home systems,
concerns regarding their security, especially regarding personal information
access and physical entry control, have escalated. This is further amplified by
the rapid development of generative AI methods, which bring new types of attacks.
Therefore, we focus on modern voice assistants and their resilience against
deepfake spoofing attacks. We rigorously assess the resistance of smart devices
to sophisticated audio impersonation techniques. In detail, we evaluate voice
assistants on four devices (Google Assistant, Siri, Bixby, and Alexa) with 72
test subjects. Subsequently, we conduct a comprehensive security analysis to
determine the extent of potential impacts stemming from identified
vulnerabilities. Our findings contribute to the enhancement of voice assistant
security, ensuring safer and more reliable utilization in domestic environments.
