Search giant Google has challenged hackers at this year?s Pwnium 2 hacking conference to find vulnerabilities in its Google Chrome browser.
A total of $2,000,000 is up for grabs with differing prizes depending on the nature of the vulnerability and whether it exploits plugins or additional software.
Hacks using purely Chrome (which Google call a ?Full Chrome exploit?) will receive $60,000, hacks exploiting a bug in Chrome and other software (a ?Partial Chrome Exploit?) will earn $50,000, and flaws or weaknesses in third party software that compromise Chrome (a ?Non-Chrome exploit?) will win $40,000. Prizes will also be awarded to incomplete or unreliable exploits at the discretion of the judges.
The Pwnium 2 ten year anniversary conference will take place on October 10th in Malaysia and will be part of the ?Hack in a Box? security conference in Kuala Lumpur.
Goggle discusses this further in their blog here.
