During the first day of Pwn2Own 2021, contestants won $440,000 after successfully exploiting previously unknown vulnerabilities to hack Microsoft's Windows 10 OS, the Exchange mail server, and the Teams communication platform.
On the second day, Pwn2Own competitors will also target Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge (Chromium), Zoom Messenger, while others will try their hand at exploiting other new bugs in Microsoft Exchange, Windows 10, Ubuntu Desktop, and Parallels Desktop.
After the vulnerabilities are exploited and disclosed during Pwn2Own, software and hardware vendors are given 90 days to develop and release security fixes for all vulnerabilities reported.
