Bugs Allowed Access to Black Hat Streams for Free
Black Hat is a technical security conference, which brings together thousands of industry researchers, professionals and journalists every year in Las Vegas. Black Hat and its sister conference DEF CON, are widely viewed as the top security events and hacker gatherings in the world.
At this years Black Hat USA edition, the organizers are providing a portal, where non-participants can view the presentations and keynotes in real time over the Internet. Dubbed the Black Hat Uplink, the system gives paying users access to two separate video streams, as well as post-conference material.
"With Black Hat Uplink, you can experience essential content that shapes the security industry for the coming year - for only $395," the organizers claim. However, as Michael Coates, a Mozilla Web security expert discovered, that wasn't necessarily true.
