Outstanding

Undercover reporter Michelle Madigan (Associate Producer of NBC Dateline) got a little more than she bargained for when she tried to sneak in to DEFCON 2007 with hidden cameras to get someone to confess to a felony. When DEFCON staff announced the “spot the undercover reporter” game and told the audience that an undercover reporter was taking video to catch someone confessing to a hacking crime, Madigan bolted from the conference premises followed by a pack of ~150 DEFCON attendees and reporters trying to photograph and video tape her. DEFCON officials never got the chance to bring Madigan on stage to offer her a press badge so that she could cover the rest of the event above board.

Not one to keep a cool head, was she? LOL

Is this another case of Dateline trying to play cop? Unfortunately, most people attending DEFCON are a lot smarter than they are. They must have run out of pedophiles to chase.

I work for a network security company; the team had a good laugh about this story in the morning dev meeting. Good times and shining journalistic ethics, there.

Dateline never learns...

you can't be a TV show and a cop at the same time.
