Thumbdrive from China?

Thumbdrive?

Well, taking a look at the picture, I never heard of a D-Link thumbdrive. D-Link is a well-known brand name for computer networking products such as routers, switches, etc. The “thumbdrive” in the picture above is believed to be made of the casing of a USB-based communication device, possibly a Wi-Fi and a cut-off portion of a USB connector. What a joke! Look at the MAC ID label in the picture. That is a MAC address that exists in all modern LAN devices!
