  2. A number of attendees noted their rooms were searched by hotel staff for "security" purposes.
  3. Tweeting can also get you into trouble.
  4. The Internet of Things is a bit concerning when your home tech can easily be hacked.
  5. And hacking cars isn't that difficult either.
  6. Medical devices were hacked in the Bio Hacking Village.
  7. Slot machines were hacked(?) during the conference.
  8. One popular class at Black Hat was "advanced infrastructure hacking".  
  9. Government attacks and surveillance was also a hot topic.
