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.
