小心了!愛彼迎(Airbnb)上的民宿再次被曝裝有攝像頭。據(jù)美媒報道,日前,一對美國夫婦通過“愛彼迎”租住了佛羅里達(dá)州的一處民宿,結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn),房間內(nèi)偷偷安裝了攝像頭。
因?yàn)槌夛Z風(fēng)“艾爾瑪”襲擊佛羅里達(dá)州,德瑞克?斯塔恩斯(Derek Starnes)和妻子撤離在杰克遜維爾的家,并通過愛彼迎租了間房子,沒想到卻發(fā)現(xiàn)臥室的煙霧探測器里藏了針孔攝像頭。斯塔恩斯對美國廣播公司表示:
He noticed a small black hole in the master bedroom's smoke detector. He took the device down and realized that the hole was actually a camera lens pointing right at the bed, and feeding video onto an SD card hidden inside.
他在主臥的煙霧探測器上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個黑色小洞。他將探測器取下來,發(fā)現(xiàn)這個小洞其實(shí)是一個正對著床的攝像頭,能將拍攝下的視頻存儲在內(nèi)置的記憶卡中。
斯塔恩斯隨即報警。警方負(fù)責(zé)人鮑勃?布爾克(Bob Bourque)稱,已經(jīng)查封了“計算機(jī)存儲設(shè)備、硬盤、電腦、筆記本電腦記憶卡等所有能存儲數(shù)據(jù)的東西(computer storage data devices, hard drives, computers, laptops SD cards anything that would store data)”。
The condo's owner, Wayne Natt, has been an Airbnb host for two years, and has more than 40 renter reviews. He has since been arrested and charged with video voyeurism.
房東韋恩?納特在愛彼迎上出租房子已有兩年,擁有40多條租客評價。他已經(jīng)因視頻偷窺癖的指控被警方逮捕。
The suspect maintained that everyone recorded in his home was filmed consensually. When pressed for why Natt would conceal the camera in a smoke alarm if the filming was consensual, Lt. Bourque reported that Natt responded that hiding it in the ceiling “gave him a better angle.”
納特堅稱,他在家中拍攝的所有對象都是知情自愿的。當(dāng)被問到既然是在雙方都同意的情況下進(jìn)行拍攝,納特為什么要將攝像頭隱藏在煙霧警報器中時,布爾克警長表示,納特稱將攝像頭藏在天花板上“拍攝角度更好”。
針對該事件,愛彼迎發(fā)表聲明稱對房東納特的行為感到“憤怒”,并將把他永久踢出網(wǎng)站。
“We are outraged at the reports of what happened; as soon as we were made aware, we permanently banned this individual from our community and fully supported the affected guests. Our team has reached out to local law enforcement to aid them with their investigation of this egregious offense and we hope justice is served. We take privacy issues extremely seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy against this behavior.”
“我們對報道的有關(guān)事件感到憤怒;我們在發(fā)現(xiàn)此事后立刻永久禁止此人成為愛彼迎用戶并完全支持受害租客。我們的團(tuán)隊(duì)已經(jīng)和當(dāng)?shù)貓?zhí)法部門接觸,協(xié)助官方調(diào)查這一令人震驚的罪行。我們希望正義得到伸張。我們非常重視隱私問題,對這種行為采取零容忍政策。”
事實(shí)上,這已經(jīng)不是愛彼迎第一次爆出類似丑聞。早在2015年就有外國媒體報道稱,一名德國女子聲稱,她在通過愛彼迎預(yù)訂的民宿中發(fā)現(xiàn)了隱藏攝像頭。
而這樣的事件國內(nèi)也出現(xiàn)過。一名網(wǎng)友在某社交平臺上發(fā)帖稱,今年2月1日,自己與男友在愛彼迎上預(yù)訂了高雄的一間民宿,并于2月2日晚正式入住。入住當(dāng)晚,她發(fā)現(xiàn)民宿衛(wèi)生間和臥室的煙霧探測器里藏有針孔攝像頭。隨后該網(wǎng)友離開民宿并報警,高雄當(dāng)?shù)鼐浇槿胝{(diào)查。
雖然愛彼迎也曾更新過相關(guān)管理細(xì)則,明文規(guī)定房東必須完全關(guān)閉所有監(jiān)控設(shè)備,如有必須要安裝監(jiān)控的地方,應(yīng)確保租戶對此知情,但這些條文似乎并沒能遏制住偷拍亂象。
如何防范偷窺攝像頭?
原本開開心心訂了一間物美價廉的民宿,準(zhǔn)備和伴侶好好享受假期生活,結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)房間里安裝了攝像頭,自己的一舉一動都被人偷!窺!了!這樣的經(jīng)歷實(shí)在令人沮喪和惱火。
那么為了防范此類事件,租客們究竟可以做些什么?除了用肉眼仔細(xì)檢查屋內(nèi)的每個角落,我們總結(jié)了幾種更有效的方法:
1. 尋找鏡頭反光
工具:手電筒、激光棒、空心卷筒
A simple way to spot most types of cameras is to look for the lens reflection. This requires turning off the lights and slowly scanning the room with a flashlight, or laser pointer, looking for bright reflections. It works even better if you’re looking through something like an empty roll of toilet paper because it narrows your focus.
對于多數(shù)類型的攝像頭來說,要想找到它們,一種簡單的辦法就是尋找鏡面反光。你需要關(guān)掉燈,用手電筒或激光棒慢慢掃視房間,尋找反光的地方。如果能利用一個衛(wèi)生紙空心卷筒之類的東西來觀察就更好了,因?yàn)檫@樣會縮小你的焦點(diǎn)。
2. 利用專業(yè)設(shè)備
工具:攝像頭探測器、射頻檢測器
There are gadgets on the market that are geared specifically toward lens detection, like the BrickHouse Security Mini Hidden Camera Detector. It uses flashing red LEDs for better detection.
市面上有一些專門檢測鏡頭的小玩意兒,比如BrickHouse的安全迷你隱藏攝像頭探測器。它通過閃爍的紅色LED燈管更好地檢測。
In addition to lens detection, you can also get an RF detector. This can pick up wireless cameras within 10 feet or so. Some of the expensive ones have screens to show you what the camera is seeing. Unfortunately, RF detectors aren’t great for wired or record-only cameras.
除了鏡頭探測器,你還可以購買一個射頻檢測器。該設(shè)備可以檢測到約3米內(nèi)的無線攝像頭。有些高價的射頻檢測器帶有屏幕,可以顯示出攝像頭里看到的內(nèi)容。不過射頻檢測器對有線攝像頭或只有錄像功能的攝像頭是無效的。
3. 查看連接無線網(wǎng)的設(shè)備
工具:無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)用戶查看軟件
If you can connect to the rental’s wireless network, a free program like Wireless Network Watcher shows what gadgets are connected. You might be able to spot connected cameras. Just be aware that the owner might have put the cameras on a second network, or they could be wired or record-only types.
如果你能夠連上出租屋的無線網(wǎng),可以通過“無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)用戶查看軟件”之類的免費(fèi)程序查看使用該網(wǎng)絡(luò)的設(shè)備。你可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)連網(wǎng)的攝像頭。要注意,房東可能將攝像頭連到其他網(wǎng)絡(luò)上,或者攝像頭是有線或只有錄像功能的。
