Google has offered prizes totalling $1 million to those who successfully hack the Google Chrome browser at the Pwn2Own hacker contest next week. Chrome is the only browser in the contest’s six year history to not be exploited like at all. Google will hand out prizes of $60,000, $40,000 and $20,000 for contestants able to remotely commandeer a fully-patched browser running on Windows 7. Google offers “bug bounties” to researchers, and its flaw-buying program has given out more than $300,000 in payments over the last two years.
