Google & Mozilla Patches Browsers Before Pwn2Own Hacker Contest!

Google and Mozilla have reportedly updated their browsers for the Pwn2Own hacking contest. The contest is due to take place next week at the CanSecWest Applied Security Conference. Google patched 19 flaws in its Chrome browser and 10 flaws in Mozilla’s Firefox. Google rewarded researchers who fixed the bugs with an attractive sum, the highest being $1,000. The major flaw that was updated by Firefox consists of a bug that if activated by a corrupted JPEG file could cause a crash when it is later executed on the victim’s device.
