Off at a Tangent — A discussion with Jeff Moss
Jeff Moss · Computer Fraud & Security · 2008
Jeff Moss (aka Dark Tangent) is the founder of the Black Hat conference, and its sister event Defcon. Moss, who sold Black Hat to CMP in 2005 but who still owns Defcon, came from the early days of hacking, having organised the first Defcon in 1993. Computer Fraud and Security caught up with him at Black Hat's US event in Las Vegas last month to discuss the continuing controversy over company relationships with Black Hat, changing attitudes to collaboration between vendors, and how things have changed since the early days.
