DEF CON Ditched: Caesars Cancels Hacker Heaven, Forces Legendary Conference to Level Up at a New Venue
In a “strategy change” twist, Caesars plays its hand, cancelling DEF CON’s booking. Hackers, once kings of the casino floor, now find themselves without a kingdom. But fear not, DEF CON 32 levels up to the Las Vegas Conference Center. Get ready for hacking hijinks with more space and less slot machines!
Hot Take:
Did hell freeze over? Pigs fly? No, but close enough – DEF CON got booted from its long-time Vegas haunt, and it wasn't even for hacking the slots or turning the Bellagio fountains into a giant game of Tetris. In the twistiest twist since a pretzel met a Möbius strip, Caesars Entertainment pulled a magic trick and made DEF CON's booking disappear. Abracadabra, folks – welcome to the biggest infosec disappearing act of the year!Already a member? Log in here
