Bleeping Computer – Lawrence Abrams
DEF CON and Black Hat announced today that their upcoming security conferences in Las Vegas this summer will no longer be in-person and are instead moving to an all-virtual event. Due to the global pandemic and the concerns that there is no safe way of conducting the conferences, both Black Hat and DEF CON have announced today that they are switching to an all-virtual conference format. DEF CON, who has a running joke every year that their conference is being canceled, have actually gone through with it and has now entered “Safe Mode with Networking” as they switch to an online conference. DEF CON has stated that they plan on using their Discord server to organize the virtual conference and that their events will continue in an online format.
