I agree. Protecting against DDoS attacks is incredibly difficult. I'm just enjoying the irony of Def Con, the premiere computer security and hacking convention, not being able to handle traffic.
To be fair, I don't think they crashed; I saw a "sorry too much traffic try later" type message. Still amuses me.

- komali2 3y agoI guess it's funny, but the attendees don't necessarily represent the organizers. The best hackers in the world may be in the building during Defcon but I don't think the Defcon organization itself necessarily employs them.
