The annual Pwn2Own contest at the CanSecWest conference kicked off Wednesday. One of the winners this year was Stephen Fewer, who exploited Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. Dennis Fisher spoke with him about the contest, the challenge of attacking IE 8 and the utility of memory protections. More than 100,000 Zyxel networking products could be vulnerable to a hardcoded credential vulnerability (CVE-2020-29583) potentially allowing cybercriminal device takeover. The contest is part of the annual conference at CanSecwest.
