Hutchins, in case you weren't aware, was the hacker who unmarried-handedly stopped the global WannaCry cyber attack back in 2017.

Now he'southward on TikTok and sharing videos with his 117k followers.

In 1 of these videos, he demonstrates how to sweep a hotel or Airbnb room for hidden cameras.

'The first thing you are going to desire to look for is devices that are conveniently placed where a creeper would desire to look,' Marcus explains.

'Take this fire alarm, for instance. Information technology is placed right above the bed.

'Ane way to see if the device is a camera is to smoothen a vivid light at information technology.

'If you hit a camera lens, it'south going to get a blueish reflection.

'Now yous can test this by shining a light at your phone and seeing how the photographic camera looks when placed under a flashlight.'

The same trick works on alert clocks and two-mode mirrors.

Marcus demonstrates by shining a torch onto the surface of an innocent-looking alarm clock to reveal the camera lens hiding below.

'These cameras are really small every bit you can run across here, then they tin be hidden in annihilation, even a pigsty in the wall,' Marcus added.
