This journalist asks at #DEFCON if they can hack him. Spoiler: They did.

One woman spoofed his phone and called his phone and internet provider, pretending to be his wife, changing his passwords and adding her name to his account, blocking him.

Another guy clones his blog, and sends a mail pretending to be Squarespace warning him about a bug, with a link to his (cloned) Squarespace. It is the same blog, but a series of pop-ups that will "guide" him to fix the problem.

He got the journalist's phone number, card number and social security number. He also infected his laptop, taking more data and screenshots every 2 minutes.
