The cord is detected as a "computer" and tracks “favorite videos, videos watched, and bookmarks,” as well as “Location Data, Sensor Data, Tracking Cookies Data, and Installed Apps Data.”
It’s crazy how much processing power you can put in a chip that fits inside a USB connector these days. This thing has a huge body that can fit a larger circuit board, but that may nit always be the case.

An old trick for hacking a company is to drop a few flash drives in the parking lot, but these days just a USB cable suffices. The more expensive bad cables can even set up a WiFi network for remote control!
