[HIB]Hackers Don Black Hats in Vegas Next Week

[newsbot]

If you have plans to travel to Las Vegas next week, you may want to cancel them. Why? Because the city will be crawling with hackers attending a "Black Hat" conference on electronic security. The sponsors of the events describe them as "highly technical information security conferences that bring together thought leaders from all facets of the infosec world--from the corporate and government sectors to academic and even underground researchers."That doesn't mean that there isn't some scary stuff being discussed there. For instance, there's a session called "How to Hack Millions of Routers." At the briefing, the presenter promises to release a tool that completely automates an attack on a consumer wireless router that allows an infiltrator to browse the Web-based interface of the browser just as if he or she were on the victim's network.In another session titled "You Will Be Billed $90,000 for This Call," the host will discuss the nuts and bolts of smartphone trojans that place calls or send text messages to expensive, premium rate numbers.
