Looks like Corporate #infosec has made it's choice.

#RSAC is filled with talks embracing AI and making it "secure".

And they invited and encouraged the Trump regime to spread its disinformation - fully sanctioned and encouraged by the conference leadership(and by conference attendees who laughed at the regime's jokes and lies and issued no challenges or stands during the talk).

With the ostracization of #ChrisKrebs by industry and the full embrace of Kristi Noem as a speaker, this was the moment that infosec made its bed.

Y'all lie in it now.

This is damning.

Kevin Collier, journalist from NBC News states:

"I will say [Kristi Noem] has come out swinging, insisting her vision of CISA will improve [DHS] and falsely describing its previous work as being substantially devoted to policing misinfo.

The crowd has been relatively into it. Tepidly bit on her laugh lines. No boos, no heckling. This is a corporate crowd, not Def Con, but I would have not been surprised to have seen some disruption."

@tinker i don't know if defcon would react differently

last year was so full of feds and cops giving presentations that i broke my brain and i decided i won't be going back

i really think 2010 black hat having Michael Hayden was a turning point. I remember the room being pretty evenly split between boos and fanboys. i think the fed fanboys have gained ground at blackhat and defcon now

@rdp @tinker DEF CON needs to be brought back to pure hacker energy and a serious #ACAB attitude.

@lambdacalculus @dsp @rdp @tinker It's been dead long before pool2girl happened, so how far back do we really have to go

I have faith in the DEFCON crew honestly. During all these years, mistakes happen(ed) for sure, but this group is, in a sense, all of us here. We can reclaim a hope for a future filled with hacking, truth and ethics.

@dsp I think most of the problem is that it's too big now. It needs to be significantly reduced in size -- maybe not even normal public ticket sales
