Christopher Hadnagy, a veteran of DEF CON and founder of Social-Engineer LLC, faces multiple harassment allegations revealed in a recent motion for summary judgment. The allegations, stemming from a ban at the cybersecurity conference in 2022, highlight inappropriate behavior including an obsession with female coworkers' appearances and inappropriate training exercises. Claims of anger outbursts and workplace insults were also noted. Hadnagy's defamation case against DEF CON remains ongoing after a previous dismissal of six claims. This detailed report reflects serious concerns about his conduct as more than a dozen individuals come forward.
Hadnagy was banned from the legendary cybersecurity conference in 2022 following claims of misconduct that were never detailed in depth.
The motion filed over the weekend provides details of the allegations made by more than a dozen people accusing Hadnagy of harassment.
Hadnagy’s alleged 'inappropriate fixation' with his female coworkers' appearance is a key focus of the allegations against him.
DEF CON lawyers stated that these were private complaints alleging serious misconduct over the years.
