So long story short, an undercover reporter for Dateline NBC was trying to do a story that would connect government agents to illegal hackers. Defcon is, of course, neutral ground where underground hackers and whitehat security guys get together for a weekend.
However, the organizers were tipped off and, in the place where Defcon normally has the "spot the fed" contest, they had "spot the undercover reporter" instead. When the audience was asked what to do when they found her, they yelled "murder"! Shortly after that, she made a run for it.
A longer version of the story is here (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/04/defcon_exposes_muckraker/), and a video of her leaving and everything is here (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7193402460428728700&q=defcon+reporter&total=3&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0).
One word: PWN3D.
How humiliating, but I believe she got exactly what was coming to her, as well as Dateline.
I've watched To Catch A Predator a few times, and I feel like it's just wrong. I don't condone the actions sexual predators, and I'm no legal expert, but something inside me screams violation of rights. We're all suppose to have the chance at "innocent until proven guilty", but the way the media works on shows such as To Catch A Predator, you don't have that chance.
I've never seen the show, but, if I understand it right, it basically destroys the person's life whether or not he does anything. There's definitely something wrong with that...
Hahahaha! The "Murder!" is awesome.
