UPDATE: Her myspace page was linked off of
defconpics.org and shortly
after has been removed from myspace. No word on how it was removed at this time.
An NBC reporter (Michelle Madigan Associate Producer of NBC Dateline)
was found to be trying to find hackers for hire and recording them
with a video camera. Jeff moss the organizer at the blackhat/defcon conferences in las vegas was nice enough to let everyone
know during the spot the fed competition (video below).
Jeff gave her several chances to come clean and wear a normal press badge. When she refused he decided
to let the other media attending the conference know she was about to be exposed minutes before doing so.
Some people won't take kindly to this at all and there's a pretty good chance she is going to be in a world of hurt.
For those of you who have monitored Full Disclosure for the past few years you know what I mean….
From ZDNET on the matter
"According to Senior DEFCON official “Priest” who works for the
Government in his day job, Madigan declined press credentials on four
separate occasions (twice on phone and twice at DEFCON). Madigan
proceeded to register as a regular DEFCON attendee and even told a
DEFCON staffer that she was going to the bathroom to get her hidden
camera ready. When a DEFCON goon (staffer) explained to Madigan that
secret video taping wasn’t allowed, Madigan not knowing she was
speaking to a goon replied that she didn’t think it wasn’t a problem.
The staffer then followed Madigan around and watched her as she panned
her hidden camera around the entire “Capture the flag” room to get
unauthorized video of the members." – ZDNet
