What happened

Three research teams broke into Google's Pixel 10 on October 8 at Pwn2Own (computer hacking contest) Ireland, a hacking contest in Cork whose rules require every target to be fully patched. The contest pays researchers to show working exploits and passes the flaws to the vendors. One of the three Pixel exploits earned Ikotas Labs $300,000, the contest's top prize, and made the team the overall winner. Google is an Internet and software company based in Mountain View, founded in 1998.
