Chrome succumbs to Pwn2Own contest hack

Google’s Chrome fell to researchers’ exploits Wednesday in hacking challenges at CanSecWest security conference. French team demonstrated a two-vulnerability attack on the browser running in Windows 7. Google announced it had received its first “Pwnium” exploit submission, which the company’s Chrome chief executive said qualified for that event’s top-dollar $60,000 reward. Last week Google withdrew its Pwn2Own sponsorship over objections to the contest’s practice of not requiring researchers to divulge “sandbox-escape” exploits.”]
