Multiple software products from Adobe, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Samsung were successfully pwned with previously unseen exploits in Tianfu Cup 2020, the third edition of the international cybersecurity contest held in the city of Chengdu, China.
"Many mature and hard targets have been pwned on this year's contest," the event organizers said.
Apple iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 14 and Safari browser.
The Tianfu Cup, analogous to Pwn2Own, was started in 2018 following a government regulation in the country that barred security researchers from participating in international hacking competitions because of national security concerns.
Qihoo 360's Enterprise Security and Government Vulnerability Research Institute came out top with $744,500 in prize money, followed by Ant-Financial Light-Year Security Lab and a security researcher named Pang.
