Payment Village

DEF CON payment-security village badge lineage, represented by the source-backed 2025 Vulnerable ATM Badge and a separately scoped pre-event 2026 volunteer village-badge access credential. The historical programme describes the former as a two-handed physical ATM attack-surface simulation, while the current volunteer notice does not establish that its planned credential is the same artifact or disclose its form or technology.

Payment Village at DEF CON 33 · 2025

Payment Village DC33 Vulnerable ATM Badge

Large physical ATM attack-surface simulation artifact

A preserved DEF CON 33 programme describes Payment Village's Vulnerable ATM Badge as the conference's largest badge that year: a physical form factor attendees could carry with two hands, built to simulate ATM attack surfaces. Payment Village's own DEF CON 33 page confirms the village/event context, while its 2026 schedule still lists an Introduction to the Vulnerable ATM Badge. The recovered sources establish the named physical educational artifact, not its electronics, a reusable current build, or a 2026 reissue.

Payment Village DEF CON 34 Volunteer Village Badge

Officially announced pre-event volunteer access credential

Payment Village's official DEF CON 34 volunteer notice says volunteers will receive access to the conference through a village badge, alongside a village T-shirt and learning opportunities. The village's official event page confirms the August 6-9 Las Vegas programme. This source-backed record models the stated pre-event volunteer identity/access artifact only; it does not identify a physical form, electronics, access-control mechanism, issued quantity, or a connection to the separate 2025 Vulnerable ATM Badge.
