Is your holiday rental as safe as you think? 

So, you’ve got a holiday coming up, and with just a few hours to go before you board your flight, or get in your car for your road trip, you pack your bags. You do a quick inventory, to ensure that you’ve got everything. 

Toothbrush. Check. 

Clean underwear. Check.

Scanner to spot covert surveillance at your AirBnB. Check. 

That might sound silly to you, but there’s been an alarming trend in recent months of people reporting that they’re being secretly watched, while staying at privately rented holiday accommodation. 

So, why are people doing this? And what can you do to protect yourself, next time you stay in a holiday rental? Click here to read the article and thanx to Proper Honest Tech.
