Did DEF CON just move to New York?

[astcell]

For the first time ever, the world's biggest underground hacking conference will travel from Las Vegas to NYC for this year's TFF.

It’s okay to admit it: the thought of someone hacking into your computer, smartphone, and/or any other digital gadget makes you extremely paranoid. There’s no shame in that. It’s the fear of the unknown, but coupled with the knowledge that someone else knows that unknown and can easily use it against you. Unless you’re a tech whiz, the mechanics of hacking are understandably foreign. And that’s without even delving into the kinds of hacking that happen beyond computers and hard drives. Your brain probably hurts just thinking about it.
By the end of the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, however, you’ll feel like the next Julian Assange. From Thursday, April 23, through Saturday, April 25, at Spring Studios, TFF will host DEF CON, the world’s biggest underground hacking conference. It's to Edward Snowden's peers what Comic-Con is to Marvel fanatics.

I had a conversation with shaman about this and her response was:

The DEF CON as the conference we know is not moving from Las Vegas
but rather we are having 4 Villages at the Tribeca Film Festival and
DT is speaking on 4/25. So if you are in the area come in and see
what's going on.

Yes she is a DEF CON goon, and yes, she would know.

Hope this helps. :-)

Ah man. I wish I knew about this before it was over!
