I’m out at Blackhat in Vegas and I stumbled on this monument planted next to the chapel at the Flamingo Hotel. It talks about the notorious gangster Bugsy Siegel who took quite a few security precautions to protect himself.

Despite having such a well secured homebase, Bugsy left himself open and vulnerable for a Dame. Yeah, see?

If Bugsy was the first Vegas Blackhat, I reckon his assassins would have been hackers.
