Exploit broker Vupen won four cash prizes for zero-day exploits of Internet Explorer 11, Firefox, Adobe Reader and Flash at the Pwn2Own contest.
Gust MEES's insight:
It’s become a familiar walk for Chaouki Bekrar. Year after year at thePwn2Own contest, the controversial Vupen founder is scurried from a small room in the basement of the Sheraton hotel to a suite several floors above. It’s a short journey from where a string of zero-day exploits are executed to where formal disclosure is made to the vendor in question. It’s also where payment is arranged, and on this day, exclusivity is promised to HP’s Zero Day Initiative. Learn more: - http://www.scoop.it/t/securite-pc-et-internet/?tag=Pwn20wn

Am dritten Tag des Hacker-Wettbewerbs Pwn2own haben Sicherheitsforscher auch Mozilla Firefox 10.0.2 gehackt. Damit kommt Safari in diesem Jahr als einziger Browser ungeschoren davon. Das Siegerteam erhält 60.000 Dollar Preisgeld.

The end of this year's editions of the Pwn2Own and Pwnium contests has been marked by another Chrome hack, executed by a teenage security researcher that goes by the alias "PinkiePie", and the successful "pwnage" of Mozilla's Firefox browser by researchers Willem Pinckaers and Vincenzo Iozzo.
The 17-year-old PinkiePie - who wanted to keep his face and real name secret because his current employer hasn't sanctioned his participation in the contest - has, by his own admission, been lucky to discover a zero-day vulnerability that allowed him to break out of Chrome's sandbox early into his research for the contest.

Despite huge leaps in secure code, nothing is immune when hackers are motivated. The first day of this year's Pwn2Own 2014and the companion contest that ran concurrently stuck with much the same theme, with successful hacks of the Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari browsers and Adobe's Flash and Reader applications. But as long as there's a strong enough incentive—say, in the form of financial gain or the ability to acquire valuable national security or industry intelligence—exploits like the ones delivered at Pwn2Own won't just be possible. They'll be inevitable.
