A bomb threat and a subsequent evacuation of 30,000 hackers
DEF CON, the annual hacker´s convention in Las Vegas, was interrupted on Saturday evening when authorities evacuated the convention due to a bomb threat. The convention has a long history of mischief and pranks. A bomb threat, however, is neither of these.
