Pwn2Own contest puts $75,000 bounty on VMware Workstation bypass

Adobe Reader, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer are no longer on the contest’s target list. Exploiting Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge will earn hackers $65,000, while exploiting Apple Safari on Mac only $40,000. System-level access on Windows or root access on Mac OS X would add another $20,000 to the final payout. The Windows environment will run as a guest OS in a virtual machine created with VMware Workstation, which laid off most of its developers working on the product in January.”]
