Microsoft Corp. is once again inviting members of the hacking community into its Redmond, Washington, campus to show the software giant where it's gone wrong.

The company's latest Blue Hat conference kicked off Wednesday with talks on mobile security, hardware hacking, Microsoft's security tools and the underground vulnerability economy.

Microsoft began hosting these events two years ago as a way to foster dialogue between the company's security team and external security researchers, many of whom have been critical of the company's approach to security.
