Intro

It's time once again for cybersecurity professionals to make the pilgrimage to the scorching desert of Las Vegas, Nevada for a week of tech conferences that we lovingly refer to as Hacker Summer Camp. Today I'll bring you my on-the-ground reporting from BSides and DEF CON. I'll also bring you part 2 of my series on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and how to purge your personal data from the web. In the news this week: Vegas hotels search hacker's rooms; Apple and others fix old but important browser bug; NFL rolls out more facial recognition at stadiums; Ford looks to patent car surveillance tech; automakers sold your data to brokers for pennies; border agents can no longer search your smartphone without a warrant; judge rules that Google is a monopoly.
