Issue dossier

The official event and KKTIX pages establish HITCON 2026, published attendee-badge ticket conditions, the venue, and the ended onsite-sales window; the official organizer's closing update confirms that the gathering and NFC Battle ran. They do not provide a complete ticket-tier/recipient ledger, collection workflow, final quantity, card dimensions, material, lanyard, printed design, access-control behavior, revocation policy, participant receipt, or post-event fulfillment evidence.

A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
