...stupid for doing it in the first place The first is Todd Davis, CEO of a company called LifeLock. I'm actually a customer and they do identity theft protection services. They've built a marketing campaign around this guy publishing his Social Security Number and challenging the bad guys to try to rip him off. You've probably seen the ads He...

Halvar Flake Denied Entry to U.S. for Black Hat

2007-07-29 12:39:01 by Editor in Cheap Hack
 
...stupid technicality of the contract with Black Hat being with him personally and not his company. In the process of interrogating him over it the DHS actually asked why the training he's doing couldn't be performed by an American citizen. I'm speechless.

Again, On Criticality of Logs
