#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.

Welp. forum.defcon.org/node/232005. The team will still load events into #hackertracker, though. Let us know what is going on and we can add functionality for virtual AND in-person (we hope soon) conferences. @_advice_dog @shortxstack

Cell phones carry up to 25,127 bacteria per square foot and is one of the dirtiest objects people come in contact with during the day. That's nasty! The CDC recommends using disinfectant wipes for daily cleaning. Keep #COVID off your phone - clean it now then RT!
