The hacking community has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with many conferences being cancelled or going online due to social distancing measures. However, this shift has also presented opportunities for increased accessibility and collaboration among hackers. The LevelUp conference, started in 2017 as a free online hacking con, has transformed into a vital platform for security enthusiasts to connect and learn from each other. With its online format, LevelUp allows for greater anonymity, international participation, and unlimited attendees, making it an essential event for the community during these uncertain times.
