UPDATE: The Electronic Frontier Foundation is representing the  
students. A hearing in the case occurred this morning in Massachusetts  
and a judge issued the restraining order. Jennifer Granick, an  
attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said through a  
DefCon spokeswoman that EFF advised the students to pull their talk.

UPDATE II: Among the documents the MTBA filed with its declaration to  
the court today is a vulnerability assessment report (.pdf)  that the  
three students gave the MTBA about the flaws in its system. The  
document is dated August 8, the day the MTBA filed its lawsuit against  
the students, and is essentially the information the students declined  
to give the MTBA before it filed its lawsuit.

Ironically, the document reveals more about the vulnerability in the  
MTBA system than the slides that the restraining order sought to  
suppress contain. The vulnerability assessment report is now available  
for anyone to download from the Massachusetts court's electronic  
records system.

The EFF will be holding a press conference at DefCon this afternoon to  
discuss the case.
