In February, when the Def Con hacker conference released its annual transparency report<\/a>, the public learned that one of the most prominent figures in the field of social engineering had been permanently banned from attending.<\/p>\n

For years, Chris Hadnagy had enjoyed a high-profile role as the leader of the conference\u2019s social engineering village. But Def Con\u2019s transparency report stated that there had been multiple reports of him violating the conference\u2019s code of conduct. In response, Def Con banned Hadnagy from the conference for life; in 2022, the social engineering village would be run by an entirely new team.<\/p>\n

Now, Hadnagy has filed a lawsuit against the conference alleging defamation and infringement of contractual relations. <\/p>\n

The lawsuit<\/a> was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on August 3rd and names Hadnagy as the plaintiff, with Def Con Communications Inc. and the conference founder, Jeff Moss, also known as \u201cThe Dark Tangent,\u201d as defendants. Papers were served to Jeffrey McNamara, attorney for Moss, at the conference in Las Vegas this year. <\/p>\n
