This thread is transplanted from Twitter before I delete it there:
I want to tell you a story, but doing so is bit of an OpSec fail so I am struggling with whether I should or not. So let's just agree that I don't need to be OpSec shamed or OpSec 'splained for one of the details in this story.
Do you have a beverage? You'll need one. /1

This last weekend was DEFCON. This is the world's largest, important hacker conference. DEFCON is the Rose Bowl of hacker cons- it is the granddaddy of them all, and one that you must attend.
It is usually held in Las Vegas, but this year was held online. /2

There is a rich history at DEFCON that once you benefit from the con, as your career advances you eventually give back.
You can do this by speaking, volunteering, organizing and helping local DC groups, being active in one of about a dozen hacker charities, etc. /3
