Video of NBC Dateline Reporter Fleeing DEFCON
An Associate producer of Dateline, a NBC show, Michelle Madigan tried to attend this year’s DEFCON psing undercover where she registered as a programmer and came to the annual Hacking/Security conference with a hidden camera hoping to get some hidden scoops for her show.
However, there was one small problem. DEFCON has a strict rules prohibiting media from photographing or videotaping without approval. Another Michelle was never really undercover. The organizers of DEFCON got a tip off from a mole at NBC that she was showing up posing undercover. So the organizers politely tried to give her a press pass which she repeatedly refused. So the geeks took it into their own hands.
The organizers in a conference in between held an impromptu “spot the undercover reporter”. Madigan fled, much to the delight of the convention attendees who mocked her all the way to the parking lot. Check out the video below.
