Pwn2Own Contest 2010 is over and we could see the data and the browsers got hacked by many talented hackers and they also won the device they hacked and many got the cash prizes.
First iPhone SMS data got hacked in 20 seconds.This happened by just directing the user to a mallacious website and with that the hacker was able to access entire database and he was able to retreive the sent, received and even deleted text messages and going further even photos and the details of personal contacts can easily be traced and hacked.
The hacking formula was later submitted to Apple for further analysis
With the help of these contests all the browser and mobile device organisation can get full details on hacking mechanism and can also deisgn the devices in such a way that it becomes highly secured.
Next important hack was on Safari browser.It is pretty interesting that Miller (hacker of Safari browser) was able to hack the same browser since the year 2008.So this is the third time he is hacking the Safari browser and winning cash prize.
Almost all the major browsers like IE8,Firefox and Safari were hacked and the non-jailbroken iPhone was also hacked and that too its entire SMS database was hacked in a very short time of 20 seconds.
