Submission + - Pwn2Own 2016 Won't Attack Firefox (cause it's too easy!) (eweek.com) 1
darthcamaro writes: For the last decade, the Pwn2own hacking competition has pitted the world's best hackers against web browsers to try and find zero-day vulnerabilities in a live event. The contest, which is sponsored by HPE and TrendMicro this year is offering over half a million dollars in prize money, but for the first time, not a penny of that will directed to Mozilla Firefox. While Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Apple Safari are targets, Firefox isn't because it's apparently too easy and not keeping up with modern security.
"We wanted to focus on the browsers that have made serious security improvements in the last year," Brian Gorenc, manager of Vulnerability Research at HPE said.
That's a sad read (Score:2)
Firefox is my secondary when Opera 12 chokes, I had thought it tad bit secure.
Then rubs in the fact that Chrome will shortly be installed here. While welcome to my info, I like to make Google work at least a little for it.
