iPhone, Safari, IE 8, Firefox Hacked at Pwn2Own

It seems that no browser was safe at this year's Pwn2Own contest.

Charlie Miller, principal security analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, won $10,000 after hacking Safari on a MacBook Pro without having physical access to the machine. Miller won $5,000 last year by exploiting a hole in Safari, and in 2008 nabbed $10,000 hacking a MacBook Air, all on the same computer.

Didn't realize it could take a few days to a couple of weeks to pull off these exploits.

They should hire these guys. Must be easier for them to land a job.

Ya, these guys a just crazy.
Interesting to see someone hacked a phone this year. I don't think anyone did last year?
