      It was Defcon 6 if I'm not mistaken and someone actually didn't go because of it which is how it became a meme. Here's at least one source corroborating that[0]: > "I think it's from around DC6 and is a reference to our only near brush with cancellation at the Monte Carlo for DC4," Def Con spokesperson Darington Forbes wrote me in an email. "I wish I had more to tell you—since it happened seventeen or so years ago my info is murky. Something about a casino mogul preferring we not use the Monte Carlo, threats of legal action." > @ivydigital DEF CON - cancelled annually for over 20 years > — Rich Trouton (@rtrouton) July 31, 2015 [0] https://www.vice.com/en/article/ezvez4/def-con-is-cancelled-again https://www.vice.com/en/article/ezvez4/def-con-is-cancelled-...
