Ever settle in a hotel room or AirBnb and just feel like you're being watched?
According to ex-hacker Marcus Hutchins, it's because there's a chance that you are being watched...
The British computer security researcher cheekily describes himself on TikTok as an "Ex-hacker, current felon."
Hutchins is best-known for temporarily stopping the WannaCry ransomware attack, one of the worst cyberattacks the world has ever seen. He was later arrested by the FBI while high on a McDonald's snack run, according to Wired.
He was just 22 at the time.
Hutchins is currently employed at the threat intelligence service Kryptos Logic and he's using his knowledge for good on TikTok.
Under the username of @walwaretech, Hutchins shares security tips and tricks to his 100K+ followers... including how to check for hidden cameras in hotel rooms.
In the viral video that has nearly 6 million views, he set up a fake room setting and then shared that there are a number of things to look for.
First, packing a flashlight is key.
Hutchins explained that by turning the flashlight on, any camera lenses will reflect blue.
Hutchins emphasized, "Check any devices that are placed conveniently where a creeper would want to look."
Check any devices, including smoke detectors, wall plugins, and alarm clocks.
He also suggested checking any holes in the wall, especially in bathrooms, for tiny cameras.
TikTok scrollers were very impressed—and a little freaked out— by the information Hutchins provided.
