Hotel guests in South Korea 'secretly live streamed'

According to the police in South Korea, more than 1,500 hotel guests across 30 different hotels in 10 various cities were secretly filmed and live-streamed on the internet via hidden spy cameras in the rooms.



The cameras were reportedly hidden in the TV boxes, wall sockets and hairdryer holders and recorded footage and live streamed it to a site that consisted of more than 4,000 members. The members of the private site paid a monthly fee to access videos.

Four men have been arrested, reports BBC.

While this is not the first time that a spy camera was discovered in South Korea, in 2017 more than 6,400 cases of illegal filming were reported to the police.



The increasing spy camera problem in Seoul has led the police to make a team of a special squad of female inspectors who will be regularly visiting the public bathrooms to look for spy cameras.
