The second day of the hacking contest Pwn2Own will have fewer casualties. After easily knocked down Internet Explorer 8 (Windows 7) and Safari 5 (Mac X), hackers will not take up the challenge to bring down Firefox, Windows and Android Phone 7.
Sounded to drop Firefox 3.6, Sam Dash was eventually abandoned, explaining that he could achieve a workable exploit code. No one appeared either to hack Microsoft's mobile OS on a Dell phone Coming. Ditto for the Samsung Nexus on Android. Google remains unbeaten on the two days: yesterday either, no hacker had appeared to challenge Chrome. One who had to drop this browser notify Google has preferred to exploit the flaw he had for the contest. The Mountain View company has therefore revised shortly before the contest, making it impossible feat.
Multiple vulnerabilities have WebKit however bends Torch BlackBerry 9800 (OS 6.0.0.246) and a flaw in MobileSafari was fatal to the iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2.1).
