The hypocrisy of Black Hat hackers exposed as reporters are expelled for hacking

Your IT - Home IT

It has been reported that Editors from both Eweek and CNet News were amongst those whose details were uncovered in this way.

The three alleged attackers have been identified as coming from Global Security Magazine in France, and are said to be Mauro Israel, Mark Brami and Dominique Jouniot.

I understand that they were asked to leave immediately, as well as being given a lifetime ban from future Black Hat events.

The problem, it seems, is that Nevada law could have been violated as the hacked parties had not given their consent. The irony of this all has not escaped me, and it is almost laughable that unauthorised hacking at a hacking event by non-hackers is such a serious issue.
Almost as laughable as the security reporter, whose name has been withheld in the interests of saving them from further embarrassment, who apparently said that he felt his privacy was violated and assumed his communications would be secure.

Assumed his communications would be secure, at a hacker conference? ROFL.
