fake?

The bit on privacy and nothing to hide put it over the edge for me.

I was wondering the same thing. From that section, somewhat incoherently and with typo:

"You're [sic] parents and grandparents knew it was true. This is a, Christan-based, truism that is fundamental to our society."

This is fake. You can read the source code of the page to see.

Can we get this removed from the front page?

"Professionals have professional credentials. If you want to participate in the security industry, you should obtain the appropriate certifications. ISC2, SANS, EC-Council and many vendors offer well regarded security certifications."

Most definitely a fake. CISSP != Security Professional

The National Security section leads me to question the authenticity and/or seriousness of this

Just when I finally thought I would be technically ready for the kind of stuff I wanted to learn since I first heard of DEF CON (6th edition I think).

:(

On the other hand I can totally understand how hard it must be to organize an event of such magnitude, fame, etc. and not going crazy in the process.

Farewell DEF CON.

I thought this was a decent parody of the corporate infosec mentality. DEFCON is hardly any different these days though, it's just good at maintaining the illusion.
