wait what no that last one is definitely not a place where you should let your guard down not with the absolutely illegal and immoral things going on there and if you don't want to be recorded at your most intimate moment check your surroundings for unusual coat hooks yep you heard right we'll get into that in a bit but first be sure to click that red button to subscribe to our Channel and hang out with us on the bright side of life while you're at it hit that little notification bell so you'll be the first to see all our new fun and interesting updates all right back to public restrooms and their hidden dangers now this will probably come as a shocking and unpleasant surprise but someone may be watching you while you're doing your business technology is developing at full pelt nowadays but unfortunately this isn't always for the better well new gadgets and devices make our lives a whole lot easier they've also paved the way for new types of criminal activity as for perverts that want to peep in on you when you least expect it all they need is a simple coat hook police have recently been closely investigating totally innocent looking code hooks in public bathrooms and that's because these hooks are in fact not what they seem they have a much more sinister purpose than holding your jacket or bag when entering a public bathroom always look around and pay attention to any coat hooks you see if you notice that a hook looks a little weird leave the room immediately and call the authorities now what abnormalities are you looking for you know how the ones designed for coats usually have just one hook well the sketchy ones have a double hook hidden inside these hooks are tiny discreet cameras capable of capturing not only still pictures but recorded footage as well they record people in public bathrooms and changing rooms later these criminal creeps download the footage from these devices onto their computers sorry ladies but these cameras are more often found in women's restrooms lockers and public showers so you need to be especially diligent in checking that your privacy isn't being horribly violated but hey perversion comes in all forms so fellas keep your eyes peeled as well you'd think that these super techy hidden cameras would be obvious to the naked eye but that's not always the case they look so natural attached to the wall that you wouldn't even give it a second glance plus they're incredibly easy to get a hold of for example Amazon and eBay offer such cameras to anyone willing to pay and they cost less than 10 bucks if a criminal is willing to splurge they can get one that not only films video but also records audio every hook with a hidden camera has a transfer cable and charger video as well as audio and more advanced models is recorded through a tiny hole found at the top of the hook and if you think it couldn't get any creepier think again since these tiny spy cameras are wireless they can be recorded remotely this means that somebody has a remote control which is also wireless and works through walls and that somebody could be as close to you as right behind the wall it gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it once again to determine whether or not a hook on the wall is actually a hook or some weirdos window into their perverted Peep Show check if it's a double hook which doesn't make sense it's attached to the wall in a place where it's of no use you notice some blinking light that means a camera is recording isn't always visible but it still something to watch for if you notice any of these signs call the police right away now you may be wondering why on earth with a company manufacturer code hooked cameras to spy on people in the bathroom well the thing is that they're supposed to be for home security unfortunately sickos have repurposed them to suit their own needs and that's why police warn people to stay alert and vigilant at all times since 2016 there have been several cases in Florida of these tiny cameras being discovered in public bathrooms and rest areas in Islamorada police found a hook camera in the women's restroom at a small beach park called Ann's Beach another was discovered in Key Largo in the women's bathroom at a circle K and yet a third was found at Harry Harris park and tavaa near the hooks detected in all of these places were absolutely identical to the ones sold online as home security cameras and this crime just doesn't happen in the u.s. in 2017 21 year old Lou quitting from the UK was banned from the McDonald's where he'd been working after he installed a camera in the woman's restroom to spy on his female co-workers luckily the hook was noticed before any real damage had been done still nobody knows how many people with similarly sinister schemes have actually succeeded and never been caught and it just gets worse from there a 2015 case in England made headlines when a young woman spotted a hidden camera recording her while she was taking a shower in her hotel this camera was hidden behind a vent though as for a coat hook camera you'd most likely notice it in your hotel room nevertheless you should always check just in case but even if you check all suspicious-looking hooks in every bathroom or changing room you visit you still can't be 100% sure that you've protected your privacy how so the thing is that nowadays even your TV baby monitor or get ready for this teakettle can be hacked to spy on you a survey conducted by the which group an independent consumer rights organization in the UK that does things like testing products and services for safety and reliability found that eight of the 15 devices you use on a regular basis can be hacked researchers estimate that by 2025 there will be over 75 billion items connected to the Internet lots of these devices are constantly running monitoring not only city streets but the insides of people's homes as well in 2017 there was a case when footage from 500 private security cameras located across the UK including in kindergarten stores businesses and homes was broadcast on a Russian website in 2015 a babysitter in Texas was changing a one-year-olds diaper when some man's voice started commenting on her actions out of the blue as you can imagine this terrified the poor woman it turned out that the baby monitor in the room had some preset password that the baby's parents never did change which also found that some inexpensive electronic kids toys can be hacked as well criminals can potentially use a toy to listen in on what's happening in the room but that's not the worst they can also send messages and communicate with a child just think how creepy that could be what if they tell a kid to go outside or even say something unimaginable Virgin Media a home Internet provider in the UK conducted a security exercise and found that hackers could access and steal the data of 800,000 of the company's customers who were then promptly recommended to change all their passwords otherwise once a hacker got hold of the password to a home router they could gain access to the houses Wi-Fi network and control all the devices sync to it yes even that super fancy electric kettle that has made your life so much more convenient alright we're well aware of the dangers now it's time to ask the real question how can you protect yourself experts have two recommendations first of all always change default passwords and logins to devices that are connected to the Internet and secondly use sticky tape to cover microphones and cameras on these gadgets so that cyber criminals can't see what you're doing and eavesdrop on your personal life your friends may call you paranoid but hey the joke's on them so what do you think about these types of crimes are they a serious cause for concern or rare isolated cases what punishment should be given to tech-savvy peeping toms or the old-school kind for that matter tell us in the comments below and if you found
