Privacy Protection: Technical Surveillance During Travel
Privacy protection while traveling can be a challenge. Whether you are traveling for work or for pleasure, you face an elevated risk of technical surveillance in rentals. The unsettling reality is that someone who rented the space or vehicle before you may have it under technical surveillance. Or, you may be the “intentional” target of technical surveillance so a spy can get access to your valuable information.
We’ve all heard the horror stories about the executive whose hotel room was bugged and subsequently sensitive information was accessed by the electronic eavesdropper. Or, the vacationing couple who discover the owner of their rental property had them under audio and/or video surveillance. Or, the traveler who rented a vehicle and found a GPS tracker.
If your rental is under technical surveillance, the ramifications could be professionally or personally devastating. So, how can you improve privacy protection from technical surveillance when you travel?
