To demonstrate the industry’s weaknesses, their leader arranged for a reporter to tag along on an audit of one of his clients’ hotels. The conditions: The hackers wouldn’t break into the personal devices of hotel guests, and neither the hotel, the city, nor the hackers could be named. This paragraph could really use more clarity. I can't tell if these guys are authorized pen testers for the hotels, or if they're consultants for other parts of the IT stack who are doing this as gray hats.
