DefCon gets Hacked

No Comments

I just read a very interesting article about DefCon.  For those of you that dont know, DefCon is the annual hacker conference that takes place in Las Vegas.  Once a year, hackers from across the universe descend on Sin City for seminars, conferences, competitions, and fun.  This year however, A group of Hackers actually hacked the attendees of the conference.

A group has figured out a way to throttle and intercept pretty much all internet traffic by disguising itself as the best route.  By doing this, a hacker or group of hackers could compromise almost any aspect of the Internet. 

I am sure that there will be some sort of fix for this in the coming days, weeks, or months, but it is still pretty interesting to hear about.

Here’s the article:
