In Under 10 Hours, Google Patches Chrome To Plug Hole Found At Its Pwnium Event

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday October 10, 2012 @10:11AM from the omg-pwnies dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Last night, Google held its Pwnium 2 competition at Hack in the Box 2012, offering up a total of $2 million for security holes found in Chrome. Only one was discovered; a young hacker who goes by the alias 'Pinkie Pie' netted the highest reward level: a $60,000 cash prize and a free Chromebook (the second time he pulled it off). Google today patched the flaw and announced a new version of Chrome for Windows, Mac, and Linux."

  The laws of physics don't apply to Pinkie Pie. Neither do the laws of programming.
