Who is Michelle Madigan?
Someone who just got a little taste of her own medicine.
Apparently Dateline NBC sent associate producer Michelle Madigan to the DefCon hacker’s conference undercover, in an attempt to film hackers admitting to committing crimes. Instead, these intelligent conference attendees flipped the switch and outed her.
According to Gizmodo:
“DefCon staff lured her to a large hall telling her that the Spot the Fed contest was in session and that she could get a picture of an undercover federal agent at the contest. When she sat down, Jeff Moss, DefCon’s founder, announced that they were changing the game. Instead of Spot the Fed, they were going to play Spot the Undercover Reporter and then announced, “And there’s one in here right now.” Madigan, realizing she’d been had, jumped from her seat and bolted out the door with reporters carrying cameras chasing after her through the parking lot and to her car.”
Reporters chasing her through the parking lot is what makes me laugh; especially when someone yelled “don’t let the door hit where the dog should have bit you”. People must really be giving her the ringer as both (what I assume to be) her Friendster and LinkedIn pages are no longer available.
