Well if they are willing to break TOS to sell ads on facebook how much further do you need to go to rationalize auth capture, rootkit injection or any other malicious activity.
"Plugging in the device on your network doesn't make it magically see all of the traffic" ... Assuming it has not been constructed to do all of the things you list (or more) does not magically make it not see all of your traffic either. There is no magic involved, it is either constructed to capture/inject or not -- the only way to know is to review the actual bits and firmware.
- ams6110 8y agoUnless you work in a SCIF (and probably not even then) your local network should not be considered trustworthy. Assume that hostile activity is always present. Especially if you have "appliance" type stuff on your LAN, such as ISP-provided routers, Amazon/Google devices, smart light bulbs, etc. Keep your machines and firewalls updated.

- hankhill 8y ago...because they're selling ads on Facebook maybe?
- closetohome 8y agoWell personally I do see a small distinction between breaking a corporate TOS and felony unauthorized network access.
