Submission + - American security researcher attacked while at conference in Krakow, Poland. (georgiaweidman.com)
fineous fingers writes: US computer security researcher Georgia Weidman has revealed on her blog that a fellow speaker at the Confidence security conference in Krakow, Poland attempted to rape her. The attack occurred in her hotel room in the early morning hours of 28 May. Luckily, Georgia was able to fend her attacker off by clocking him in the head with a coffee mug. You can see her fancy mug work here in an official conference photo:

I was personally at this conference but was staying at a different hotel and found out about it after the fact. It was Georgia herself that told me after she gave her fantastic talk on Leveraging Smartphones during Pentests. That fact that she was able to give a flawless presentation later that day and had the courage to talk about it on her blog shows how awesome she really is. (Not to mention the +5 Coffee Mug of Rapist Bashing she wields.)
