Security Researcher Attacked While At Conference

New submitter fineous fingers writes "U.S. computer security researcher Georgia Weidman has revealed on her blog that a fellow speaker at the Confidence security conference in Krakow, Poland attempted to rape her. The attack occurred in her hotel room in the early morning hours of 28 May. Luckily, Georgia was able to fend her attacker off by clocking him in the head with a coffee mug. I was personally at this conference, but was staying at a different hotel and found out about it after the fact. It was Georgia herself that told me after she gave her fantastic talk on Leveraging Mobile Devices on Pentests. That she was able to give a flawless presentation later that day and had the courage to talk about the attack on her blog shows how awesome she really is."

Let none denigrate the usefulness of humble convention swag again.

It is Java! Go Java!

See? Java skill will always come in handy for the code warriors in every unexpected situation.

Well it appears to be a legitimate rape attempt.

But she was drunk and she did invite him in so where on the rape scale should this be? Would any fright wingers care to fill in the blanks?
