This video only really makes the questioner look like a smarmy elitist tool. Kaminsky got owned, Brian Krebs got owned over the weekend, and security companies and high profile security people get hacked all the time. People are not perfect and if the bottom 99% of all security practitioners all got selectively targeted by that top 1%, they would all get owned too, it comes down to lack of motive, not some kind of perfect security knowledge.
It really sounded like, "You're a dick; it can happen to anyone." Well, judging from the comments, no, not anyone. The only way it can happen to "anyone" was if everyone at that convention was hacked. The fact that she was the only one to be hacked nullifies that statement.
Man, if she had only been running OpenBSD and was willing to put up with the lack of X (No non-free device drivers for my laptop!) this could've all been avoided. Although, to be fair, had it been me I would've had an armed guard next to any computers at a hacker convention.
No if anything they should be on par. Large systems become too complex to manage over time. If she can not protect her own laptop how can she protect a large infrastructure that could have numerous exploits that she does not know where they are.
Most likely, the dumb broad can't even secure a OSX machine.. such as a complex password, or keeping her password secret, or running the firewall, or turning off un-needed services.... *LAME*

Sexist pig. You make it sound like it's so easy to secure a Mac. Meanwhile if she was running Windows you would say that she got attacked because she was running Windows. Plus, it was at Shmoocon, there were tons of hackers on the network, she was just unlucky.
Dino Dai Zovi and Shane Macaulay teamed up to hijack a MacBook Pro laptop at the CanSecWest security conference here, effectively pouring cold water on the Mac faithful's belief that the machines aDino Dai Zovire impenetrable.
Dai Zovi , a former Matasano researcher who has been credited in the past with finding Mac OS X vulnerabilities, exploited a zero-day flaw in the built-in Safari browser to take complete control of the machine
Hackers and even computer security researchers who aren't afraid to use their real names get hit, too. Remember the 2001 Defcon, when the security researchers running the show -- owner Jeff Moss, his long time aide Pete Shipley etc. lost control of their wireless network.

So where's your speech?

Except in Windows, where the browser IS the OS.

Dumb bitch, if she is really a hacker, she would not use fucking OS X and depend on Apple to protect her worthless ass. Also very lulzy at 0:30.

I agree - How can she protect infostructure when she can't secure her own laptop .. and i could do better.
