Safari Hole Exploited in 10 Seconds at Pwn2Own

Remember the guy that won $10k last year for hacking a MacBook Air in under two minutes? Well, this year he exploited a security hole in Safari in just 10 seconds to win $5k.


Charlie Miller, principal security analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, used a MacBook running the latest version of the Mac OS as part of a contest at the CanSecWest security conference called 'Pwn2Own', which is hacker slang for gaining control of a computer.
