It had been slated to take place in August. This comes after the more formal Black Hat USA event, usually scheduled to run the same week as DEF CON in Sin City, was <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blackhat.com\/us-20\/updates.html\">shelved<\/a> as an in-person shindig, due to the COVID-19 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/Tag\/coronavirus\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coronavirus<\/a> pandemic forcing everyone to stay home where possible.<\/p>\n<p>Both shows will tentatively take place as web streaming affairs this summer. For DEF CON 28, this means a &#8216;Safe Mode&#8217; online gathering, with video streams and a Discord server, between August 6 and 9.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The DEF CON is canceled meme has crossed over into real life, courtesy of COVID-19,&#8221; the team said on Twitter. &#8220;In early March we had hopes that things would be stable by August. That is no longer realistic. Currently there\u2019s no way to gather everyone together and keep them safe, so [show founder] The Dark Tangent has decided to cancel the in-person event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will try an online experiment this year \u2013 DEF CON Safe Mode. We wish there was better news, but we hackers are a resilient bunch. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay in touch so we can all be together virtually this August, and again for DEF CON 29 in person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"5.9040590405904\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/defcon28?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#defcon28<\/a> has entered Safe Mode.<br \/>The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DEFCONiscanceled?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DEFCONiscanceled<\/a> meme has crossed over into real life, courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/COVID19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#COVID19<\/a>.

I also worry that the conferences that postponed to later this year will be caught up in the &#8216;second wave&#8217; after restrictions start to ease and they will end up having to cancel.

In large part, Moss said, the focus was on making sure the 2021 edition of the show would not be derailed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has taken weeks of working with staff, lawyers, accountants, and Caesars,&#8221; Moss explained, referring to the Las Vegas strip hotel due to host the event. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t want to endanger the future of the conference by tweeting that we were canceling before we understood and were confident we could navigate the process.&#8221; \u00ae<\/p>\n<p class=\"wptl btm\"><span>Sponsored:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.co.uk\/tl\/1925\/-8451\/build-the-next-generation-of-your-business-in-the-public-cloud?td=wptl1925\">Webcast: Build the next generation of your business in the public cloud<\/a><\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.co.uk\/feed\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/05\/08\/defcon_canceled_coronavirus\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virus knocks hackers online: Show will try going virtual amid pandemic Annual Las Vegas hacker gathering DEF CON has officially called off its physical conference for this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.\u2026 READ MORE HERE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34865,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-register"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DEF CON is canceled...
