If anyone can figure out how to disable the "feature" on this that lets it automatically open up a browser window to the Ciggo.com website if you plug the device into your computer's USB to charge it, please let me know.
The thing uses the same tactic as the Hak5 "Rubber Ducky" hacker device that lets it act as a trusted Human Interface Device (like a keyboard) when you plug it in. It executes a Windows-R command to bring up the Run prompt, types out "www.ciggo.com" and hits Enter. I DO NOT appreciate this intrusive behavior. If you had software on your computer that automatically started executing commands and live-tampering with your computer, that'd be called a virus or at least malware.
