Result:
A Google engineer publicly discussed a serious security vulnerability in Comodo Dragon after Comodo failed to response to the issue within the 90 days Google provides software ventures. The advisory warns users who install Comodo Dragon that Dragon repairs their default browser, hijacks DNS settings, and disables the same origin policy, which exposes users by allowing meticulous websites to access private data. However, these problems have since been fixed.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "disclosed", the speaker says "discussed"

Explanation: You will hear "publicly discussed a serious". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "respond", the speaker says "response"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "failed to response to the". The printed and spoken words start the same, but the spoken word ends differently.

Printed "vendors", the speaker says "ventures"

Explanation: Listen again to "software ventures. The advisory warns". The first letter is the same, so wait for the whole word to hear the difference.

Printed "replaces", the speaker says "repairs"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "Dragon repairs their default". The printed word is longer, so listen for the shorter spoken form.

Printed "malicious", the speaker says "meticulous"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "allowing meticulous websites to". Both words start with the same letter and end the same, so trust your ears, not the meaning.

"Comodo" matches the audio

Explanation: "in Comodo Dragon after Comodo failed" has the company name twice. It may look odd, but the speaker says it exactly. Do not click it.

"hijacks" matches the audio

Explanation: "hijacks DNS settings, and disables" looks strong and might seem changed. The speaker actually says it, so do not click it.
