the guys in Vegas thought that... they got caught but they were being watched for.. Vegas has been bilked for 100's of millions that the real world does not know about.. They are the kings of net security IMHO..
you are talking to an audience here that is at home working from machines with registered software... black/white hat stuff does not apply even a little.. I commented based on the user... if he jumps off thinking he is invisible, he will be sorely disappointed when the reality hits.. You will be misleading him to tell him otherwise.. no need to be an expert, only informed (I have some good net guys that work for me, datacom is way too specialized for my tiny head)
