The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven audio attacks has revealed new security vulnerabilities in voice control systems. While researchers have introduced a multitude of attack strategies targeting voice control systems (VCS), the continual advancements of VCS have diminished the impact of many such attacks. Recognizing this dynamic landscape, our study endeavors to comprehensively assess the resilience of commercial voice control systems against a spectrum of malicious audio attacks. Through extensive experimentation, we evaluate six prominent attack techniques across a collection of voice control interfaces and devices. Contrary to prevailing narratives, our results suggest that commercial voice control systems exhibit enhanced resistance to existing threats. Particularly, our research highlights the ineffectiveness of white-box attacks in black-box scenarios. Furthermore, the adversaries encounter substantial obstacles in obtaining precise gradient estimations during query-based interactions with commercial systems, such as Apple Siri and Samsung Bixby. Meanwhile, we find that current defense strategies are not completely immune to advanced attacks. Our findings contribute valuable insights for enhancing defense mechanisms in VCS. Through this survey, we aim to raise awareness within the academic community about the security concerns of VCS and advocate for continued research in this crucial area.
