Those who attend Black Hat tend to know a lot about viruses.

But maybe not of the human variety. 

Mashable is reporting that some attending the conference may have been exposed to the IRL virus, or measles.

"Hackers and cybersecurity researchers who attended this year's annual Black Hat information security conference in Las Vegas found themselves on the receiving end of the wrong kind of security notification. On Thursday, the Southern Nevada Health District issued a warning stating that individuals in Vegas over the course of the conference may have been exposed to measles."

The person with measles apparently ate at a couple of Mandalay Bay restaurants, which is the hotel where Black Hat was held.
