2020-11-09 09:39

Bug bounty hunters have hacked routers, network-attached storage devices and smart TVs at the Zero Day Initiative's Pwn2Own Tokyo 2020 hacking competition.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition has been turned into a virtual event and Pwn2Own Tokyo is actually coordinated by Trend Micro's ZDI from Toronto, Canada, with participants demonstrating their exploits remotely.

Organizers have offered significant prizes for exploits targeting a wide range of mobile and IoT devices, but participants have only focused on routers, NAS products and TVs. In total, participants were awarded $136,000 for 23 unique vulnerabilities across six different devices.

The second place team, named DEVCORE, earned $20,000 for successfully demonstrating an exploit against a Synology DiskStation DS418Play NAS product, and $17,500 for an exploit targeting a Western Digital My Cloud Pro Series PR4100 NAS device.

The same total amount was earned by the STARLabs team for exploits targeting the NETGEAR router and the Synology NAS device.
