I suppose that depends how you define “chugging along.” They might be relatively stable and safe from DDOS, but malicious devices can certainly do damage to other users of a network, in some cases without even connecting to it. For example, an IMSI catcher isn’t technically _connected to_ any cell network, but it does exploit the assumptions of clients who attempt and expect to connect to one.
