Mozilla Finds Flaw With Black Hat Video Stream

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."

    Ahh can we please stop calling it 'stealing'.

    Can we please stop obsessing about this meaningless piece of sophistry? Stealing is a word, not a reference to the criminal law code in your particular jurisdiction. The usage is fine.
