Mozilla Finds Flaw With Black Hat Video Stream

Posted by timothy on from the fair-play dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla web security researcher Michael Coates found a flaw in Black Hat's paid video feed. The flaw allowed him to watch a live feed of the conference for free instead of the $395 a head to connect. Unlike many presenters at Black Hat, Michael responsibly disclosed the flaw to organizers, who quickly fixed the issue."

    Stealing is a word, not a reference to the criminal law code in your particular jurisdiction.

    I agree with you, and I also move that we start calling all RIAA employees pedophiles. It's a fine word, not a reference to the criminal code!
