Three French reporters for Global Security Magazine attending this week's Black Hat Security Conference in Las Vegas were booted, after they "allegedly" (that's reporter-speak for "they won't admit it") sniffed the private network set up for the press. The private network is meant to be a sort of chill room for journalists, so they can file a few articles without getting pwned by conferencegoers every five minutes. Note to the French: We'll be more impressed if you hack Rachel Marsden's Facebook page.
