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.
