At a previous job we had a Beaglebone mysteriously show up in our DC. We noticed it buried behind some network cables and immediately unplugged it. (Not) Coincidentally, we had gone through a merger a few months prior, and the new corporate IT team had come out (from clear across the country) right after the acquisition to get a feel for how our IT infrastructure was setup. The day after we unplugged the Beaglebone we got a pissed off call from one of the corporate IT guys, turns out he had installed it there to gather some network metrics/statistics or something like that when he had come out a few months prior and didn't tell any of of our network admins or sysadmins, but somehow it was our fault for not magically knowing what the suspicious SBC in our DC was.
