A Tweet About Hacking Gets a Google Engineer in Trouble

Based on the title, I had assumed that Google somehow reprimanded the engineer, but as far as I can tell, Google has nothing to do with the story -- he was kicked out of Caesar's Palace while at Defcon.

Well, I wouldn't have clicked on it if the title was "Man Banned From Caesar's Palace For Defcon Tweet", so I guess Wired knows their business.

Anything can be made to suit an agenda when taken out of context.

I read the tweet before reading the article. And I understood his intent of the word "attack" immediately.

Yeah, but you're likely at least somewhat familiar with cybersecurity. I'm less certain that's true for management at Caesar's Palace or the LVMPD.

For the record, I also understood the context of the word attack in this tweet, but I would guess we're in the minority.

Hopefully nobody at the airport after Defcon yells "Good luck with your bombe!"

Offtopic if anyone working at wired is watching this : the page took too long to load, i cancelled and move to the comment section instead.

Yawn, so sick of news about the enlightened twitterati.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? You've done it a lot, we've asked you more than once already, and we eventually ban accounts that won't stop doing this.
