🚨 PINBALL LEAK ALERT 🚨
Looks like we’ve got a rogue volunteer in our midst at the DEF CON 33 Pinball High Score Contest… 😏
They went full black-hat and dropped ALL the “Hard Hints” for the RTPT Challenge right onto the internet.

They don’t just vanish your data… they vanish your worries. 🚫🕵️‍♀️

Thank to VanishID, contestants didn’t have to worry about their PII leaking faster than a ball out of the outlane. They’ve got your back while you focus on keeping the ball alive (and the tilt warnings under control). 💥👾

🎉 Big thanks to VanishID for sponsoring the RTPT (Real-Time Pinball Telemetry) contest at DEF CON! 🎯

While hackers were flipping out over high scores and multiballs, VanishID was busy flipping the bird to data brokers. 🖕📉
No integrations, no effort—just pure privacy magic. Like a pinball wizard.

Without @SternPinball we’d still be playing Minesweeper on a CRT monitor. Instead, we got real machines, real competition, and real bragging rights. 🏆
