Update, Oct. 26, 2024: This story, originally published Oct. 24, includes the final results of the Pwn2Own Ireland 2024 hacking event.
Elite hackers have gathered in Ireland this week for a hacking competition known as Pwn2Own. The lure is twofold: more than $1,000,000 in bounty rewards to be won, but more importantly, the kudos that come with being awarded the title of Master of Pwn. One of the highest-profile hacks to have been pulled off during the zero-day hacking spree happened on Oct.
Pwn2Own is a hacking event with a history stretching back to 2007 and attracting some of the best ethical hackers and security researchers on the planet. The twice-yearly event brings these elite hackers together to “pwn” target devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S24 this year, by employing zero-day exploits against them. These are security attacks that use vulnerabilities device vendors and security professionals alike are not yet aware exist.
This is a good thing, as it means there is one less exploit waiting to be discovered by cybercriminal hackers to either run riot with or, as is often the case, sell to the highest bidder when it comes to particularly valuable zero-days. Money plays a part here, of course, with Gannonj being awarded a bounty of $50,000 for the exploit in question. The technical details of the exploit will be kept close to the chest of Samsung, and the Pwn2Own organisers the.
