Seeing someone carrying around a tin of mints can hardly be called suspicious. However if that tin of mints has an ethernet cable sticking out at one end, that's when you should probably start getting a bit worried. Kevin Bong, a Wisconsin-based security research and penetration tester have developed a device called the Mini Pwner. . It's apparently small enough (reportedly smaller than a smartphone) that it can be plugged into an ethernet port without many noticing, thus allowing him or a malicious hacker to gain access to the corporate network, stealing information and relaying that information back to the hacker's computer via WiFi.
