Didn't some writer for the New York Times or something write some article about hackers that was later proven by a web based news blog to be a hoax? Something to do with a hackers convention?

Actually there is a hacker convention, and every year they have alittle game they play there called "Spot the Fed". Basically the con is a bunch of "white hat" hackers, electronic/computer security specialist, and of course federal agency's getting together to share info on computer security and what not.
