The first day of Pwn2Own Vancouver 2019 saw contestants successfully hack into Apple Safari web browser, Oracle’s VirtualBox, and VMware Workstation, earning a total of $240,000 in cash awards. The Fluoroacetate team targeted all three apps during the first day, exploiting all of them and making $160,000. This year’s edition of the contest is the first one with an automotive category with awards ranging from $35,000 to $300,000 depending on variety of factors including the exploit used when trying to hack a Tesla Model 3-range rear wheel drive.
