Pwn2Own 2012: Google Chrome first to fall
At last year’s CanSecWest Pwn2Own hacker contest, Google Chrome was the only browser left standing. This year, Chrome was the first to fall, thanks to an impressive exploit from a team of French hackers.
VUPEN, the controversial company that sells vulnerabilities and exploits to government customers, deliberately took aim at Chrome this year to send a simple message: no software is unbreakable if hackers have enough motivation to prepare and launch an attack.
