CauseEffect gets the scoop on the famous DEF CON Tin Foil Hat Contest.
#DEFCON Evacuation Update, 8am Sunday Edition:
Last night we were asked to evacuate the building due to a report of a suspicious package. Local police and fire departments conducted a thorough investigation and ultimately determined that the package was safe. They also conducted additional sweeps of the building as a precaution before allowing our team to return and prepare for today’s con.
We are working quickly to keep the original schedule on track, but please check here for additional updates before arriving at DEF CON in case we need to notify you of any changes to the schedule.
#defcon Update on the Forum evacuation:
It looks like this is going to take a while to resolve. In an abundance of caution, we're closing the Con down for tonight. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Let's reconvene in the morning.
Update on the evacuation of Caesars Forums:
We apologize for the interruption of festivities. The venue was evacuated in compliance with the property safety teams. We will share more as we know more.
In the meantime, consider checking out the #defcon events at the other con properties. Thank you for looking out for each other.
