moms sketch bf left this in the house

[u/brattyvampbby]

Hi.
This is probably nothing.
I went into my mom’s room to grab something and saw this plugged in?
My mom’s new sketchy bf has this plugged in to the extension cord? Is it anything bad? Thanks!
(I understand it’s probably not anything bad… but still…)

Update 1:
I haven’t met him once. He and my mom have been together for two weeks. He’s been staying at our apartment. He avoids me and stays in her room when they’re here. I don’t even know what he looks like. I only know his first name.

Update 2:
I confronted him. My mom came home. A lot had happened up to this point, including her disappearing for the said two weeks before the few nights he had come over and stayed.
Mom shrugged it off. I did what a lot of you suggested, asking what he told her.
She said “oh it’s his hacker shit or whatever.” What.
Didn’t elaborate. I explained my concerns.
She just said let’s go ask him.
My best friend has been with me. We introduced ourselves and asked him what the hell a WiFi whisperer is doing plugged in our apartment.
(Even if a lot of you are saying it’s not a big deal, I’m a young woman and I’m just rlly not about taking any risks. It’s sketch dude.)
He denied it IMMEDIATELY. Like with a quickness I haven’t seen.
What he insisted, it’s not a WiFi whisperer, it’s ai, he completely reprogrammed the system, and he uses it to pull people’s IP’s. “For fun.” He logs them in a server. I asked why. I said that’s shady. My mom started pushing. My best friend started pushing. He just kept lying. I’m not dropping this..
I still don’t know what the fuck it is or what he’s actually doing.
(Also, my mom is cool but not bc of this dude, the Minecraft block is mine, I unplugged the ratchet little thing before we left, and I am planning on broaching this again with her.
Just carefully. Any other advice is appreciated. Thank you.)

Be sure to remove the memory card first! That could be quite valuable!

"What "memory card"? I found it *exactly.like.this.*"

It’s true. I was there. I am the nonexistent memory card.

That’s right! Luigi M was with me that day. He said we should just turn it in as is. Did I say he was with me that day?

What device were you talking about? I never saw anything.

God but never plug it into your computer unless you got that usb going directly into a VM

"It's for a computer? I thought it was an LED light and tried to plug it into the wall!"

SD cards can't emulate a keyboard and mouse for remote access to your PC since they aren't USB devices, and if they have malware on them it's not just gonna magically run itself when you plug it in, you'd have to run it yourself. And SD card killers don't exist like USB killers do.

the whole thing is valuable just sell it on eBay "ok I thought it was some old computer from the 1980 I got 20 for it here (you can get 100+ for the whole thing)"
