Next Pwn2Own Contest Targets IE8, Firefox, iPhone

Posted by timothy on from the better-there-than-in-the-wild dept.

Windows Secrets writes "After two straight years of taking dead aim at Macbooks and Windows-powered machines, hackers at this year's CanSecWest conference will have shiny new targets: Web browsers and mobile phones. According to CanSecWest organisers, there will be two separate Pwn2Own competitions this year — one pitting hackers against IE8, Firefox 3 and Safari and another targeting Google Android, Apple iPhone, Nokia Symbian and Windows Mobile."

    I am sure the iPhone will do fine. Apple has a history of virtually 100% secure operating systems, especially OS X that is going on almost a decade without a single virus or worm.
