The likes of Samsung, Canon, HP, Netgear, and TP-Link were targeted by elite hackers who exploited zero-day vulnerabilities last week. And that was a good thing, here's why.
This is yet another great example of why hacking is not a crime. Not all hackers are criminals, those who partake in criminal activity are, and some may employ hacking as part of this criminality. It's important, however, to appreciate the distinction. If it were not for the 26 elite hackers and teams participating in Pwn2Own Toronto 2022, there could be 63 vulnerabilities out there, unknown to the vendors and users of the products concerned, potentially in the hands of criminals.
It then withholds the technical information about the vulnerabilities and their exploitation for 120 days so as to give the vendors every opportunity to issue security patches before threat actors can attempt to use them.The final results of Pwn2Own Toronto 2022, this was a competition, after all, and so placings are important, were as follows:In first place and taking the Master of Pwn title was the Devcore team, who took $142,500 in bounty payments and earned 18.5 points.
