When it comes to staying at a hotel, there can be no compromise on safety. When it comes to?hotel safety tips, information, however, is inadequate. Perhaps because when you check into a hotel, you assume it will be safe. But it's better to be safe than sorry.?
A flight attendant has revealed a safety trick she always followed when checking into a hotel room.? ?
An unnamed woman shared her safety tips on Mumsnet, an internet forum, claiming to have been a member of the cabin crew for more than a decade, New York Post reported.?
She said that whenever she stayed at a hotel, she would always knock on the door before entering, even if you think you are the only one with a key card 每 and use the door chain even when getting changed.
She explained: "I used to be a flight attendant [and] spent more than my fair share of nights alone in hotels.?It is not uncommon for hotels to accidentally double-book your room."
"I have woken up many times to someone opening my door with an electronic key that was programmed for my room.?I learned to dress and sleep with the chain on the door at all times.?I also knocked before trying my key because I have walked in on things I didn＊t need to ever see," she added.?
Earlier a video had gone viral where?a security expert shared his tips and tricks on how you can check for any hidden cameras in an?Airbnb?or hotel.?
Marcus Hutchins (@malwaretech) posted a TikTok showing how simple it is to look for hidden cameras. First of all, he says that you need to look for conveniently-placed devices where a ＆creeper＊ may want to look, like a fire alarm right above the bed, shower head or alarm clock.??
In the video, Hutchins uses the example of a fire alarm placed right above the bed to show how you can tell if there＊s a hidden camera.??
※One way to see if the device is a?camera?is to shine a bright light at it. If you hit a camera lens it＊s going to give a blueish reflection. Now you can test this by shining a light at your phone and seeing how the camera looks when placed under a flashlight,§ Hutchins explains.??
Hutchins also shared that this method works on two-way mirrors.
He noted, ※The front-facing camera is the only one that tends to work because the back camera has an IR filter.§
Although Hutchins explained that the video didn't take place in a real Airbnb and was staged for the purpose of the video, he added that the threat was still real.? ??
