Is this the advanced pentest version of dropping USB sticks in the parking lot?

how bad is that!

devices from manufacturers with intrinsic security "issues" are to be thrown "into" trash cans not besides them !!

Yeah, I couldnt believe it either! My first instinct told me to run it over 10 times with my car

It might infect your car. Your only option now is to fake your own death and hope that Cisco doesn't ever try looking for you again.

Should have takes it home and dismantled it as a warning to other devices in your house what happens when they go bad.
