RSA protests by DEF CON groups, Code Pink draw ire
The RSA security conference (where the world's security companies come to do business with each other), opened its doors this week in San Francisco to a wide range of protests by security professionals who would otherwise be attending and speaking at the conference.
The protests might be called "obnoxious," "pointless" and "first world outrage " -- but the protesters affiliated with hacker conference DEF CON, organization Code Pink, and sold-out opposition conference "TrustyCon" are getting everyone's attention this week.
Wednesday's protest by two noted DEF CON -affiliated organizations (Vegas 2.0 and DC408) have bought out the entire nearby Chevy's restaurant and are turning away RSA attendees and speakers -- notably in the past hour, a visibly irritated Kevin Mitnick.
