Chrome crashed in Pwn2Own

Chrome crashed in Pwn2Own

Google's Chrome browser crashed during the Pwn2Own competition.

Yesterday, the first of three days of the competition was held. Although Pwn2Own has been untouchable in the past two years, the French team, Vupen, was the first to show the existence of two weak points within this browser when it runs on the Windows 7 operating system.

It took them only a few minutes, after visiting the site they showed that they have complete control. The Wupper team came to the competition ready to attack all four main browsers - Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox.

They decided to attack Chrome because they wanted to show that no software is 'indestructible' if hackers have enough motivation and time to prepare a plan for the attack.

Although Chrome dropped Chaoki Bekrar this year, the co-founder of the Vupen company emphasized that Chrome's Sandbox is the safest of all and that it's not easy to bypass all the protection in its sandbox. For their work, the Wuppen team received a prize of 60,000 dollars and 32 points during the competition.
