(This story is dated but I ran across it in a recent Washington Post article about conference gaffs. It so worth repeating.)
Michelle Madigan, a Dateline producer, attempted to bypass the conference's press-registration process and take hidden cameras into the event, purportedly to record hackers admitting to their exploits. Defcon offered Madigan press credentials four times, but she refused each time, intending instead to work around the conference's strict rules against hidden cameras on the sly. The result was public embarrassment for Madigan; she was called out as an undercover reporter and then followed by a throng of attendees armed with very visible cameras and camcorders as she fled the show.
