Pwn2Own Expands Into Industrial Control Systems Hacking

Pwn2Own is offering more than $250,000 in collective prizes for sniffing out flaws in industrial control systems. The event will take place next year (Jan. 21 to Jan. 23) during the S4 Conference in Miami, according to the Zero Day Initiative, which organizes the event. The contest offers various prizes for vulnerabilities across five ICS categories, listed out below. The new focus on ICS may come as no surprise given the continual disclosure of security bugs in the manufacturing, power and water plants, the oil and gas industries.
