There are probably lots of nefarious things you can do with a Micro:bit. As an example you can flash it with Apple AirTag clone software and use it to track the location.

Thanks - tried it this morning. Connected it to a closed network. Wiped it. Flashed new firmware. Probably not perfect but equally probably overkill given the library regulars. He's currently programming it to play the Zelda main theme. Might get a couple of the newer ones with speakers rather than playing audio through the computer. Quite fun little things.
CYOA
My son picked up a "micro:bit" from a library. Not really sure what components go into them but it doesn't look like there's any storage capacity on it so no one could be using them to get remote access or anything silly?
