Hackers earn $1,035,000 for 27 zero-days exploited at Pwn2Own Vancouver» www.bleepingcomputer.com ··· ncouver/quote:
Pwn2Own Vancouver 2023 has ended with contestants earning $1,035,000 and a Tesla Model 3 car for 27 zero-day (and several bug collisions) exploited between March 22 and 24. During the hacking competition, security researchers have targeted devices in the enterprise applications and communications, local escalation of privilege (EoP), virtualization, servers, and automotive categories, all up-to-date and in their default configuration. The total prize pool for Pwn2Own Vancouver 2023 was over $1,000,000 in cash and a Tesla Model 3, which Team Synacktiv won. The hackers successfully escalated privileges and gained code execution on fully patched systems after hacking Windows 11, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft SharePoint, macOS, Ubuntu Desktop, VMware Workstation, Oracle VirtualBox, and, of course, the Tesla Model 3. After the zero-day vulnerabilities are exploited and reported during Pwn2Own, vendors are given 90 days to release security fixes before TrendMicro's Zero Day Initiative publicly discloses them.
