Claude Code just found a hidden SIM card inside the Ecoflow power station in my bedroom. For 10 months it was sending a server in Shenzhen our exact location, when we leave, when we fall asleep and when the flat is empty I bought it for $389 last winter, during the blackouts. No logo, 600W on the label, "app control" on the box. We kept it next to the bed so the router would stay on at night. I never even installed the app. This morning my MacBook was dying, so I plugged it into the power station with a USB-C cable. Then I asked Claude Code one question: is it only charging? It wasn't. My Mac saw the power station as 3 devices. One was the charger. The other two were data ports that a battery has no reason to have. A charger only needs power pins. This one opened a serial port, and when Claude Code got in, the thing answered like a phone: → /modem → LTE module, not in the manual → /sim → its own eSIM, registered on the cell network → /gps → our bedroom, accurate to 4 meters → /schedule → load drops to 38W at 08:52, aka nobody home → /sleep → night load starts at 23:40, every day since January → /wifi → 23 networks it could see, ours included → /charge → every phone and laptop we plugged in, with the time It knew the exact minute our flat goes empty. Every single day. Every 15 minutes it sent the newest batch out over 4G, completely bypassing our Wi-Fi: sends to → 119.***.***.47, Shenzhen uploads → 11,328 since January 14 last one → 6 minutes before I plugged in my Mac I told Claude Code I never installed the app. It said it didn't need one. It had its own SIM, its own GPS and its own battery, so it worked even when the screen was off. Our router never saw a single byte. That's why nothing ever looked wrong. During the blackouts it was the only thing in our flat still online. Claude Code switched the modem's radio off. Then I unplugged the power station and carried it out of the flat. My wife hasn't slept in that room since. I had it opened at a repair shop, and the chip they pulled out is in the comments. A 2-minute check for your own is in the second one. Save this and plug a laptop into everything you bought without a brand
