Pinkie Pie slices out $40K reward at Google Pwnium 3 hacking contest

Earlier this month at the CanSecWest security conference, Google’s Chrome team took part in the Pwn2Own hacking contest and hosted its own, the third iteration of its Pwnium competition. While there weren’t any “winning” entries at Pwnium – i.e., no full exploits against the browser were developed – Google did pay out a partial reward to the teen hacker who appears to be making Chrome a bit of a specialty.
