Sorry, but as someone who's completely out of the loop with these things. What's DEFCON/Blackhat or GITEX about and why shouldn't you bring your personal phone?

I'm genuinely interested.
- jijji 2y agodefcon and blackhat are hacker/computer security conferences started by Jeff Moss (aka DT or Dark Tangent) in 1993 and held at the end of July or early August every year in Las Vegas.... The reason you don't bring your phone is it might get hacked

- rustcleaner 2y agoBest reason of any!
- reissbaker 2y agoBecause the attendees are high-value targets who often have elevated permissions inside the firms or governments they work in, and that's worth even more.
- alephnerd 2y agoOn a separate note, Zerodium is dead now. They're in the middle of an active fire sale, but the Zero Day market's bottom fell out now that countries are increasingly moving exploit development in-house or to vendors that can do both zero day acquisition AND exploit deployment (which Zerodium cannot do as an American company). Also, u/reissbaker's answer is correct.
