Pwn2Own Researchers pulled off multiple OS X, Windows and web browser exploits at the latest Pwn2Own competition.
White hat hackers earned $460,000 in prizes for finding and exploiting 21 security vulnerabilities in widely used software. Details of the flaws were privately shared with vendors so that their code that can be fixed and updates released to the public. It’s a good win-win situation.
On the first day of the two-day competition, Safari, Chrome and Flash Player were all hacked, some on multiple occasions.

Sniper bounced back with successful exploits against Microsoft’s Edge browser, and was crowned Master of Pwn for Pwn2Own 2016. For the full article click here
