Hi,
I recently left a company where i had been "idly" accused of trying to make a competitor product to their own (this was not true).
When i left, they strangely put on a small leaving do for me, (just in the office after work), and presented me with a small-size plastic model of the companies product.
(It was made of plastic and made by the company's software guy on the company's 3D printer).
I took the "gift" home, but have now thrown it away.
Is it possible that this plastic product might have contained a chip (including radio transmitter), and a battery, such that when i took it home, it would report its location back to them. They would then be abel to "see" my IP address , because my IP address would be "talking" to the internet from the same location.
With knowledge of my IP address, they would then be able to see what i was searching on the web, even hack into my PC and see its files.
Is this possible?
