How stupid do you have to be to see that DEF CON isn't improving security? DEF CON has been exposing security problems for 15 years, and things have gotten steadily worse. It's not working.
This assumes that technology has not changed in the last 15 years. As projects get bigger and do more, new security flaws show up.
It also assumes these people don't report to companies about the flaws before they go public with them. They do, and somehow the issues are not always fixed in a reasonable amount of time.
If I am using some software that a group of people know are insecure and how to get personal information out of, I think I have the right to know about the security risk and either accept that risk or go with a competitor.
