What can Las Vegas learn from hackers? Lots -- especially considering the 2012 Black Hat hackers conference just wrapped up here. This Information Week piece has a handful of highlights -- including a hacker card game and, oh, a guy who reverse-engineers hotel keycard locks in his spare time. But it doesn't sound like Caesars Palace was sweating their hacker guests:
If the spectacle of the black-clad hacker elite hitting Vegas head on--storming conference floors by day, bars and dance clubs by night, mixed with pool time to counter the 106 (and above) degree heat--seems incongruous, the city didn't let it show. In fact, Caesar's even hacked its own Roman conceit, signaling its support for the information security set by adorning its own copy of Michelangelo's statue of David, in all its naked glory, with an enormous, oversized black hat.
