I know others who are in exactly the same situation (DEFCON connections). Astonished to see that it is that common.

Robert Graham (eratasec) told a story that they threatened to falsely taint his security clearance if he didn't cancel a DEFCON talk.

And they got their way if my memory doesn't fail me. DEFCON talk was cancelled.

What was the topic of the talk?

I couldn't find out. This is as close as I came.

"I had the FBI come threaten me to stop a talk that isn't as scary as 20 SCADA bugs," Graham says.
