Security researchers and hackers who find vulnerabilities need to realise that discretion is more important than valour, several federal security experts said at the Defcon hacking conference.
In the basement of a nondescript Wells Fargo bank branch, five blue-walled rooms serve as makeshift classrooms for highly talented computer hackers.
The three Massachusetts Institute of Technology students who have been barred by a court order from discussing subway card vulnerabilities are now free to say what they want.

A hacker group releases code designed to exploit a widespread Windows flaw, paving the way for a major worm attack as soon as this weekend, security researchers warn.
Mudge, Kevin Mitnick, Adrian Lamo, Jericho and Raven Alder speak to ZDNet Australia about the making of a hacker.
