SEC Employees Brought Sensitive Data to Hacker Con

A yet-unreleased report finds that security experts at the SEC brought sensitive data to the Black Hat Security Briefings, an annual hacker and security convention.

The group responsible for protecting computers at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Trading and Markets Division traveled with laptops that contained sensitive, yet unencrypted, information on the security of the financial agency, Reuters reported earlier this month.
