Finally Google Chrome gets hacked at Pwn2Own and ‘Pwnium’ contests. Vupen Security and Sergey Glazunov independently managed to penetrate Google Chrome’s security. Chrome security knew that the Flash Player plugin sandbox is significantly weaker and that an exploit against Chrome’s Flash Player would have to go through a certain path. The hack qualifies him for one of the top $60,000 prizes that are part of Google’s $1 million Pwnium challenge, and could be the launch of a new security career.
