"The message we're trying to communicate at DefCon this week is the sense of urgency…."As a final note, Lute encouraged attendees to be active and help protect democracy….."I hope you will join this effort as technical experts committed to finding good safeguards and security or simply as concerned citizens," Lute said. "Get involved and let's get this fixed."”
