Hearing now that some attendees at DEF CON had placed video cameras in their rooms, caught security guards randomly searching through things, taking video and photos, talking about putting it on Snapchat. Should hotel guests feel so threatened that they opt to set up surveillance such as capturing video when motion detection is triggered? Woods wasn’t the only one.

Some hackers figured out what extension to dial and the code to input to keep hotel officers out of their rooms.Īfter hotel guests had Do Not Disturb signs swapped out for ones that included fine print about the hotel’s “right to enter this room daily” even if the Do Not Disturb sign was on the door, Beau Woods, co-founder of I Am The Cavalry, added a do-not-consent-to-search note to his hotel room door. In theory, after hotel security’s wellness check visually verified that everything was fine in the room, they would then make a call from the phone the in the room and input an all-is-well code. TSA doesn't increase my chances of being raped & killed.” While some compared the hotel’s security theater to that at airports, Moussouris said, “TSA is not creating a process that forces women alone to accept strange men into her room, without a protocol to verify their identity. Regarding room checks, she claimed that privacy is the main concern of men, while it is about safety for women. Instead of being reasonable about proving who they were, hotel security reportedly screamed at Katie Moussouris, CEO of Luta Security. If you think that unlikely, then look no further than what happened to Maddie Stone, a reverse engineer at Google, who had a man with a walkie-talkie just walk into her room while she was getting dressed. Some women said they were “ terrified” because anyone could claim to be security. Apparently, they weren't required to show ID or allow the guest to call the front desk for proof that they were who they said they were. Numerous people reported that hotel security felt no need to authenticate that they were indeed hotel staff. What was the most troublesome about all of this was the fact the security staff had made mention during the search that they intended to share the photos that they were taking on Snapchat.” Ars Technica was told that some conference attendees “have audio and video recordings of two of the Caesars security staff photographing and video recording our private rooms. While it is worth noting that hotel security denied confiscating anything, there were reports of hotel security officers confiscating soldering irons and lockpicks. Hotel security reports from conference attendees Except Black Hat and Def Con attendees who stayed at the Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Aria, Cromwell, Tuscany, Linq, Planet Hollywood, or Mirage said hotel security officers showed nothing to verify their identify, actually did more than a visual inspection (such as by photographing and filming rooms), went so far as to confiscate items, and some claim they even riffled through their bags. If that were true and you could tolerate that form of security theater and privacy invasion, then that might be the end of the story. Drawers, suitcases, and other personal items are not inspected by our security officers who are clearly identifiable to guests.”

(Eweek).The October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas involving a guest at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino led to new policies at Caesars Entertainment hotels, one of which includes disregarding guests' Do Not Disturb signs and checking the room once every 24 hours - a policy attendees at Def Con 26 and Black Hat USA 2018 felt the full brunt of during their events last week.Ĭaesars Entertainment issued a statement, claiming, “The checks involve only a visual review of the bedroom, bathroom and additional sitting area (if any) to ensure there are no issues which require further attention. Among the seven most highly anticipated talks at this year’s Black Hat and DEFCON security conferences, the session titled “I Will Kill You” from Australian security researcher Chris Rock, CEO of Kustodian, did not disappoint.
