The simplest explanation is they don’t like hackers after their experience. So they push a bunch of hackers buttons with a last minute notice and prepare the honey pot to pen test their post ransom security posture and maybe in the process they find an amateur to pin it all on.

Cool. Drop kick a hornets nest in a zorb ball. What could go wrong? Not everyone attending DEFCON is getting 6 figures to red team, I suspect.

You are not wrong. Plenty of the attendees really don’t like bullies. It may be interesting.
